Been thru ALOT of comp pedals, all the usual suspects, and have landed here. Why I didn't do this sooner I'll never know. I have it always on. It's just a "better" box. Thick without being woofy or losing clarity. One tip, imo it comes by default set too heavy handed. There are dip switches inside, set them all in the down position to ease up on the comping and keep all the top end intact. Also, be careful where you put it...don't send it too much low end or like any comp without a significant side chain hpf, it will react hard to it. It's just fab on low to mid gain open alt-rock kinda chording, chords hang forever with no loss in attack. You can def dial in with less amp/pedal gain with this comp. Use the blend knob to find your sweet spot between note hang and attack retention. Put it early in your chain as poss, closer to the guitar the better.

This device allows you to dial in just the right amount of ambiance or subtle color you need to get your instrument to stand out or blend in the mix live or recorded. A true swiss army tone tool I can't believe I ever made music without it.
Now there are a lot of compressors on the market but the fair price and the quality of this pedal by Xotic is second to none.

Love this pedal and the ability to blend back the comp and balance with a volume boost. Dip switches for more tonal shaping comes with the size!

For boards, this pedal has an amazingly small footprint. If you haven't reviewed this product yet, there are internal switches for expanded tone customization above and beyond the external controls. I couldn't be happier with this pedal.

I was trying to downsize my pedalboard and hoped this would replace my larger compressor. To my surprise it did just that and more. Very simple control layout and sounds great

Raised by a musician and have been playing guitar for over thirty years. A compressor pedal is essential for any genre but a great compressor will inspire you! This is the one!

Still learning all the different settings. But my initial opinion of this is great. It doesn't color your natural tone. It takes it to the next level!

Product Review
I have used a few different types of compressor on my bass guitar. But this compressor has something that I was looking for for a long time. I love the tone of it and the flexibility. And the fact that it's an compressor for all instruments makes it worth buying and using four different types of applications. It is a very versatile compressor and if you're looking for real squash you can also get that or a very light compression you can also get that too and anything in between. Also I like the fact that it's battery powered also as well as external power sources can be hooked up to it. That makes it very versatile in the way you apply it to your situation. For example I had a gig which left me very little space to operate. So I brought this compressor and my bass rig and a parametric EQ and I had an awesome tone for that gig. So, it is a very handy piece of gear which can fit in your pocket or a gig bag.
