Very easy to adjust for a newbie. Make sure the light is barely lit on your softest sound. Rocking on my U-bass

3/5, great tone and adjust-ability but issues with degrading performance over time.

I've owned this pedal for about 3 years and it still does a pretty good job however its performance has degraded over time. Initially, and for the first two years or so the pedal worked well. I love the tone and was able to get a good punchy sound and maintain attack. I like the many knobs that allow you to dial in precisely the amount and shape of compression that you want. After two years or so I noticed that when I plugged the pedal in, all the LEDs would light up, as if it was seeing a very hot signal at the input. This was strange but went away after about a minute and would go away more quickly if the release knob was turned all the way up. Additionally, I'm hearing more and more distortion as time goes on, especially if the input level is turned up. This prevents me from getting more compression and I'm forced to settle with medium/mild compression without significant distortion. I contacted support and they charge a flat $75 for out-of-warranty pedals which seems steep at 40% of the original price.

Great compressor once you know how to dial it in. Originally I was setting it up for tapping and somewhat required a relatively high setting on the Input and lowering of the Output. This resulted in a loss of the low end.

At first I thought it was the pedal and was annoyed/irritated that even an expensive pedal such as this still had tone loss. Once I started to dial everything back for slap all my lows reappeared and was even able to find a setting the suited both.

The easiest way to kill this pedal is by having your bass lows too high. It's better to have just enough and boost it after this pedal. Currently this is first in my signal chain followed by the B7K Ultra where I add just a touch of more bass.

You'll know right away if you have too much low end or if the settings are too restrictive by looking at the Gain Reduction meter on the pedal. Depending on what you want, if you hit an open E and the meter shoots 25% that may work for you, but 50+% is probably worth evaluating what you have set up. Right now I have it to where slap will trigger it and an open E barely triggers, if at all.

This is the best bass compressor foot pedal on the market. If you want to change your sound for the better you need this pedal. If you don't believe me go on YouTube and check it out for yourself.

I love this pedal but wish it would take the power from my BOSS pedalboard, I have to use a battery for this pedal and it eats 9V's quickly.

Anyone know a good wall charger that will work with this pedal?

Sucks I will have to use two plugs for the pedal board but I gotta stop using the batteries, I hate worrying about them on gigs and rehearsals.
