General

Dynamics bring music to life. They express emotion, and likewise, control the emotion of your audience, whether you're whipping up a nice blues solo or playing heavy metal. It stands to reason that unintentional dynamics can ruin everything. Everything! Not to worry though, that's where compression comes into play. Compression softens loud dynamics and vice versa, to bring some uniformity to the entire mix. That is to say, the main role of a compressor is to give every note the same volume.

Have you noticed, perhaps, that some of the strings on your guitar or bass are louder than the others? That happens because lighter strings don't produce as much volume as the heavier strings. When used properly though, a compressor will take care of this, so all of your strings have the same volume. Compressors are also great for bass slapping, because those thumb slaps, string pulls and muted notes all deserve to be heard equally! 

You can always adjust your compression with the attack and sustain controls, and you can use the level knob to subtly adjust the output, or to give the volume a big boost. Finally, with the tone button, you can set the harmonies up exactly how you like them.

Another very functional incredibly reasonably priced pedal from behringer. I use it as an insert on my vermona drm1 mk3, it really livens up the hats, snare or clap. I was really suprised at just how much I could use this pedal from a sound design point of view.

Prima pedaaltje- compression/sustain is altijd een goeie optie om op je pedalenboard te hebben, en deze doet zijn werk prima. Voor optredens/podium-gebruik zou ik een pedaal met wat steverige behuizing kiezen, maar alles heeft zijn prijs. Deze is qua prijs/kwaliteit een aanrader. De batterij verwisselen is een beetje gedoe, dus ik kies voor een adapter (ook goedkoper op termijn)

Spotgoedkoop en toch super goede cleane sound. Staat laatste in de pedal chain en mag blijven. Ik gebruik hem quasi constant. Is mijn eerste behringer pedal. Zeer tevreden. Ook weer snel geleverd.

Supergoed. Voor dit geld helemaal. Klinkt gewoon super. Het enige waar ze op bezuinigd lijken te hebben is de casing, die is van hard plastic ipv metaal maar daar zul je mij niet over horen klagen.

Ik had wat twijfel bij de Berhingerlijn. Maar deze compressor is alvast een goede aankoop geweest. Mooi geluid voor heel weinig geld. Ik kocht ook een behringer chorus. Die is ook ok maar de compressor is echt goed. Hij staat veel aan momenteel in mijn pedaalbord.Er zijn voldoende variabelen (attack,tone, ...). Het is van plastic maar toch voldoende stevig voor thuisgebruik. Ik ga hier en daar nog een behringer pedaal kopen om het bord te vervolledigen.

Vanwege budget deze besteld voor gebruik met akoestische gitaar rechtstreeks op mengpaneel... En het werkt!! Het werkt uitstekend. Ik heb de level op 12:00, tone oo 09:00, attack voluit en sustain op 10:30, nu veel meer gebalanceerde toon, mooie sustain en ook meer ‘punch’ bij het ‘fingerpicking’...
