Here's one from the neat simple group. Are volume and sustain controls basic
enough? This is a good pedal for players looking for reasonably quite compression in an affordable convenient size.
The squeeze produces the obvious half of the compressor/limiter effect, found in most recording studios. When your signal passes through the unit,the circuit compresses your volume slightly, then slowly compensates for diminishing volume, by increasing its output. Obviously, this can only work to a degree. As with any device of this kind: the longer and harder the effect is made to work, the more noise and coloration you get.
This unit performs brilliantly when used to extract some extra sustain or pristine clean amp signals; as well as lead tones, because it just might bethe most transparent pedal compressor around. If you don't need (full) rack-mount compression & limiter for the recording of a lifetime. This is a fine unit
