Critic Reviews

Roger Mayer 615 Smooth

soundonsound.com

Roger Mayer's 615 Smooth Compressor shines as a sophisticated studio tool disguised as a pedal. Its minimalist design focuses on sonic quality without the clutter of unnecessary controls, delivering a discreet yet effective compression that enhances sustain and tone. The ability to add second-harmonic distortion for a natural presence is a clever touch, especially effective on vocals. While the pedal format might seem pricey, its performance justifies the cost, offering a versatile solution for both studio and live settings. However, crank up the gain too high, and background hiss becomes noticeable—a small price for such a versatile piece.
