Great Compressor for the Price!

This is a classic always on Compressor. Love the easiness of the controls. Sounds great. Compresses your tone just right. Does what it's set out to do!
Rated 5/5

Perfect Value

This compressor is exactly what I was looking for at exactly the right price range. Works as expected and the bright switch is a little something more than a basic compressor. Also feels very durable and well made for the price.
Rated 5/5

I Love This Series

I'm using this after the Q-tron & dirt pedals to smooth out the wrinkles. It's easy for me to dial in a great sound & it doesn't add a lot of noise. They probably could have successfully sold this for $199.

Great pedal

Bought this as a test to see if I liked compression and possibly upgrade to a better compression pedal if I did. I like it And no need to upgrade. JHS knocked this out of the park, sounds fantastic and the controls are super simple. I set it at the front of my signal chain and all my pedals just have that extra punch and sustain. You really can't go wrong with this pedal. The build quality is excellent. If you want to check out compression without breaking the bank this is a great place to start
Rated 5/5

A versatile, high quality pedal for the price

This one does it all. From subtle compression with a slow attack to full on squish. Sustain for days? Check. The bright switch a great feature that should be standard on all compressors. Definitely worth your money.
