This is an awsome compressor pedal.

If you want to have only one preset of compression, this is the most perfect pedal you can have, but if you need a lot of different comps on a gig, this might not be the best for you (my case)

From Gear Setup

Good and bad

Pros: Footprint, custom presets, tons of compression options, cheap, high quality build / looks.

Cons: The default preset / toneprint was annoying because when applying more compression it boosted the volume...

In the toneprint program there are a lot of toneprints to choose from, and you can also make your own.

But this is also the catch: 90-95% of the time spend with this pedal was trying to find my ideal toneprint and trying to make my own toneprint. I had huge analysis paralysis when using the toneprint program, listening to all the toneprints and also trying to make my own toneprint and trying to understand everything about the multiband compression options in the toneprint editor.

Yes, i know if you exactly know what kind of compression-settings you prefer that this pedal is awesome to use, to just make an awesome preset and just forgetting about having to think about it, but the amount of options actually paralyzed me from using this pedal.

I used it once or twice in a gig and came to the conclusion that i prefer to have more controls on the pedal itself. When something is taking too much fiddling time, limiting you from actually playing your instrument and focusing on how and what you play, then you should skip it from your gear and just sell it, because then it does not suit you, simple...

Good compressor for some, but not for me, although it has tons of good options.

I did a lot of online research and recommend the following compressors that are easy available everywhere: Boss BC-1X Bass Comp, EBS MultiComp, MXR M87, Empress Effects Compressor, Seymour Duncan Studio Bass or Cali76. All good options and right out of the box much easier to use, because you can see the actual settings.

Versatile, sounds great

This is the first compressor I use. After extensive research and hours of watching pedal demo videos, and agonizing about whether a compressor is REALLY needed if you always play finger-style, I decided to go for this one.

It has a simple interface but it packs amazing versatility. Multiple toneprint configurations available and you can create your tweaked ones. Keeps the bottom end, does not colour the tone, small form factor to fit into any pedalboard, and it's noiseless. I found a toneprint configuration that I like and it's now an always-on pedal for me.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Done searching!!

I tried the Diamond Compressor, but this little gem is SOOOOO much more versatile, and did I say BETTER in every way! It is a good VST plugin (via the Toneprint editor) in a box. And Multiband. And small. And uncoloring. And just mindblowing. If you can't dial in your sound on this one, the pedal is not to blame.

Great Compressor

Does exactly what a bass compressor should do with on;y one knob and it's small enough to fit anywhere.
