Fat Compressor Effects Pedal.
OK for messing around...Reviewed by Devin, 2008-05-02
These pedals are tiny, which is cool... I guess. The problem comes as soon as you try to use them at any kind of volume that competes with drums in a real band. At that point, you will likely realize as one of my bands' guitar players did that these pedals generate a lot of noise, and aren't too professional sounding. They are also quite flimsy; if you jumped on one, it would crack the case. They're ok for jamming in your bedroom at that kinda volume, but I would really steer clear of these for any band/studio work.
Great Compressor!Reviewed by Yang, 2008-01-08
If you know how compressors works, you can see that it has two
knobs: "Level", which will determine the signal output, either
louder for boost, equal for only compression, or quieter for
whatever reason. "Sensitivity" on a compressor means it will
automatically compress the peak signals and boost the quieter
signals - the more sensitive, the greater the compression.
This pedal works great for simply that function: transparent
compression. Placed right after the instrument and before other
effects, it will keep your peaks from blowing or distorting your
sound, and it will keep your signal troughs louder so that you
don't have to up the volume. The final product is an even, "big"
sound, great for both live and recording.
For specific uses like extra sustain or chicken picken, use another
compressor that has specific sustain, threshold and attack settings
so you can really adjust your sounds.
