Better than I anticipated.

Not much to say about this guy. It's extremely compact, heavy for it's size too... It's a simple optical compressor with an option to brighten up the sound if needed. It's not going to be as good as an Xotic or Wampler but it's not really meant to either. It does the job a compressor needs to do while giving you an option most compressors don't. It's well built, small and easy enough to use. The knobs can be confusing to adjust in a live situation but again, for the price this guy is hard to beat.
