the band MSRP from Minneapolis
Subject:
Great compressor stomp box
Quality:
Knobs feel a little cheap, otherwise built tough.
Features:
Portable,great sounding, 2 band comp with selectable x-over for $69. What more do you need?
Sound:
Nice and transparent at lower compression settings. Can really mangle your tone (in a good or bad way) depending on how you use it. Some reviews I've read complain about hiss. I have tried this pedal on a couple instruments, and it only hisses with lesser pickups or a long chain of effects. Its a compressor, if your setup is noisy and sucks it will make it worse.
Playability and Feel:
If you are familiar with compressors, very easy to use. If you're not to familiar with them, its easy to overdo. Take the time to learn to use it properly and you'll be rewarded.
Tone:
The mixer output actually sounds pretty good straight into a board for recording. No, really. Other than that - does your bass rig sound bad? If it does, this won't help. If your setup is good but you just need a little more control or if you want to record with it- this is your pedal. Also works good to mess with guitars and add a little beef to the low end of that 7 or 8 string, but leave the highs out of it for that.
