Sound
10
Since it is exactly what I have looked for and needed in a compressor I cant give it less than a perfect score in the sound category.
Usability
8
Like all commpressors, there is a learning curve, if you dont know how to use one. But I had the sound I was looking for, within a couple of minutes.
Reliability
9
Metal. Built like a Boss, but heavier. I've had a problem with a Digitech multi-processor, but never with a single effect pedal. These things were built to be used. A lot.
I Like
This compressor is exactly what I needed: A dual band compressor so that I could let off on the high band a little, and cut back on the glassiness that comes with a heavilly compressed bass signal. It is quieter and better built than the $150 Aphex Punch Factory that I used to use, and it gives me a lot more control over my tone.
Don't Like
Eats batteries like popcorn. Get a power supply. It will pay for itself within a month.
Summary
9
This is one of those gems that is so much better than the price tag would indicate. If this thing ever craps the bed on me, I'll pay a techie to rebuild it. I love it. Get a power supply, read the manual, and you'll find that you have the best pedal compressor you can buy for under $200.
