Markbass Compressore
Overall nice sounding compressor pedal. Very good control. My only complain is that its quite fragile. Already had to replace the electronics once after accidentally pulling the power cable while the pedal was on. But thats me who is bad not the pedal. But still - use carefully.
Amazing compressor. I would even say it is a Studio Quality tool.
All the controls for real Compressor - really great.
No faults
This compressor has great unique characteristics and works flawlessly. The only valve compressor I know of that actually compresses with the valve (a lot use the valve as a gain stage).
The only thing I could pick at is the on LED is very bright!
Amazing Compressor
very well build
sound is very good
compression options are great
if you need the best this is it
Best comp pedal!
First of all and most important its dead silent! I can compare it to a studio comp easily. The compression is fantastic, really happy that I chose Markbass Compressore. The sound is warm and well defined thanks to the valve inside. The only annoying thing whenever I take out my pedalboard from the case, the knobs are in different position, and u need to put them back in the desirable setting position, the old designe was better. I use it with a Warwick Streamer LX Broadneck and a full stack Ampeg SVT CL and the sound is just fantastic!
