tc electronic Forcefield Compressor Reviews

Great compressor

Good product. Solid build. Great price. I use it with clean and it sounds amazing. When using it with high gain and boost is a bit noisy (understandable) but it creates good amount of sustain and feedback.

I think for that price it's definitely a bargain.

I use this compressor in my pedal board that is then plugged on a Marshall Origin 20C.

It is a simple pedal where you adjust the attack, sustain and volume. Each knob has a noticeable effect on the resulting sound which makes the pedal quite versatile (for a compressor this simple).

The sound coming out is very clear and each frequency can be heard distinctly (which was the reason I bought a compressor in the first place!).

In summary: good value, good built, good choice if you are looking for a simple and yet efficient compressor.

TC ForceField first impressions

this is built rock solidly like a tank , controls are rugged and has the soft click switch (nice) . Has the promise of many years of use with little wear and tear. It's reassuring solidness is the first thing that hit me as being at odds with its very cheap price , some of the chinese made pedals are very flimsy and I've had several of them fail . I reckon you could use the forcefield to hammer in nails with :)

Apparently its based on ibanez cp-9 ( If I'm wrong blame google)

I currently use a wampler ego compressor which has a lot more controls than the forcefield , and is quite flexible as a result but I do spend time fiddling too many options at times.

I'm looking at putting together a quick grab and go board and the forcefield seems to be the contender . Its not perfectly quiet of course but not bad at all.

I tend to use compression as an always on effect for clean playing with single coil fenders and sometimes in front of overdrive/distortion to push them a bit harder with humbuckers/single coils.

I like the forcefield you get a LOT of pedal for your 49 euro, I'm giving serious consideration to selling on my wampler.
