Critic Reviews

Homebrew Electronics Compressor Retro review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Homebrew Electronics CPR Compressor impresses with its simplicity and effective performance. It offers a transparent compression with a straightforward setup, making it a great choice for guitarists who value ease of use without sacrificing sound quality. The pedal stands out for its ability to maintain the natural attack of the guitar, even at high sustain settings, and it doubles as a clean boost pedal. However, its price is a bit steep for such a simple device, though its hand-built quality justifies the cost. Overall, a great tool for those seeking a reliable compressor with vintage charm.
