Harley Benton Dynamic Compressor Reviews

A very helpful Pedal

This Pedal is a basic pedal, however for someone who is a beginner with can open up a lot of future opportunities with the tones. The Attack knob on the pedal, if cranked up, can give a harsher pick to string ratio. The Sustain knob is quite a catch in this one. If you enjoy cleans, cranking up a little the sustain can help clean up a bit those ringing notes. When it comes to Gain utilities, this pedal while good lacks, a bit as the sustain can either be overwhelming or underwhelming. Sound wise, this pedal definitely will effect the quality of any licks and riff, and can teach a less experienced musician regarding the ins and outs of analogue compression.Given that the pedal itself, is made of a sturdy material, I believe this may hinder a bit the actual sounds coming from an amp. For Its' Value its'definitely worth purchasing as an experimental pedal. Value for money and the build is very aesthetically pleasing.

An easy always-on pedal

I use this with a bass and it really rounds out the tone perfectly. Gives a nice slight boost to the gentler tones and takes care of chords being too explosively loud, handles pretty well and it's easy to control. Visually it's meh and doesn't have all the controls but serves its purpose as a simple compressor, especially when switching between fingers and picking

Great bang for the buck

Impressive quality for the price. Subtle but noticeable effect that doesnt kill dynamics and sound. Well done

For 30 euro it is excellent

Compression is not too important for me, so I bought this, it does the job very well. For the price it is a steal.

PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST PEDALS HARLEY BENTON SELLS RIGHT NOW... NOTHING MORE TO SAY!

My First comp

I don't have experience with those things but I started sounding a lot better and my slapping actually makes sense.

Hard to handle, but does the job

it does the exact job of a compressor, can’t argue with that, a little bit tricky to handle if you don’t know what you’re doing, but if you’re a maniac just like me it’s 30 bucks for paradise

It's a compressor. And it works

What else is it to say about this pedal? It doesn't have any fancy bells and whistles, it just does what you expect a compressor to do. And it does it well. Works great on bass, too.

Subtle, not for extreme sustain

I used it for years on my board to feed an octave pedal a better signal. Added some sustain too I think. But very subtle. Great but no for slide etc

Nice little pedal

Pretty straight forward pedal - My first pedal and it really does bring additional clarity - Bargain at this price

Compared to others compressors this one is quite good.

Really bang for the buck. :-)

Great budget compressor

good build quality, smooths out input signal nicely, sustain forever, no noise, good bypass.

Does exactly what it should do.

A pedal with an identy crisis

Am I a compressor or a clean boost? For sure I am a waste of money!

Very good compression in the context of others. Price!

Nothing supernatural for a little money

I use the pedal to enrich the clean sound on the guitar. The pedal can be used as a booster, so there is a Level control. Personally, I almost didn't hear the impact on the sound of the Attack handle. But the Sustain regulator doesn't work badly. The build is normal. When switching, there are no extraneous sounds.

Perfect for any single pickup guitar

I used it with my PRS in single-coil mode to get it some extra 'punch' or as a booster with tube amp. works fine in both applications.

Good compressor on a budget

It would be nice if it had a tone knob but I knew it didnt when I bought it.

It's fine for my purposes. Don't expect miracles at this price point.

Nice!

Works well, a good compressor at a good price!

Works as it should

Easy to use, does what it says it does, a little colouration on the tone. Simply and worthy compressor.

Amazing, and simple

My first compressor pedal, and I'm not dissapointed.

It's very simple to use, knobs are responsive, build quality is great as always with this brand, it's not noisy, and no popping sound when engaging.

I mainly use it with guitars equipped with both humbucker and single coils. It makes the switching between positions more even, without loss in volume, even when splitting a humbucker. It's simple and It works like a charm, what's not to like?
