The video is here
It's at a noisy NAMM booth and being played with a guitar, but still...

It's a very effective, tone neutral compressor capable of both heavy duty compressing and light duty. It's the kind of compressor that imparts no tone to your bass, I was impressed by how transparent it is. You plug it in and it disapears it's that transparent. Its size is also amazing, it has to be one of the smallest compressor on the market.

If it serves as well tonally as your initial trial suggests, it ought to be extremely popular. With its size, weight and features, the reputation of MXR and solid performance, I could see it becoming the new "standard".
I'd love to try it. I don't know that I would part with my Opti-FET for it, but it certainly sounds promising. |

Darryl Anders walked me through how this pedal works and was incredibly generous with his time. They are continuing to tweak this pedal so I suspect it will be a few weeks.

You get attack and release, compression ratio, plus master input and output controls. Plus a gain-reduction LED bar. It is a well-made, sturdy pedal, and, it sounds great, to boot! |
