tc electronic Forcefield Compressor 5-stars Reviews

Almost Unbelievable...

I needed a compressor for 3 uses:

-as a country guitar "spanky" effect

-as an always on bass compressor

-as outboard gear for recording and mixing.

I found it extremely pleasing at everything, I've used it on

active 5-string bass, fretless hollow 4-string bass,

el.guitars tuned from C standard to high A standard,

and recording vocals and drums.

The Attack knob does wonders and along with the sustain knob

you can have from mild, really spanky compression to ironing limiting.

Unfortunately unless you have the sustain knob past 9 o'clock,

the level knob won't actually boost the volume, so you can't

have it set to a very slight compression without volume loss.

Well, it's not a problem for me, a lot of classic and more expensive compressors have the same issue.

Finally, it doesn't color the tone much, I find that it only reduces the really extreme and harsh treble you'd never want, also it does have the feeling of a real, hardware compressor, most of the times in the studio I prefer it to any plugin.

I'm definitely buying another one!

What you expect a compressor to do

Nothing sensational but easy to tweak so that it sounds good.

Good and simple compressor

This is just a good, cheap and simple compressor. Sounds good and it's built much better than the usual Chinese options in this price range.

Forcefield! A well deserved name!

I did not buy it because it was just affordable. I am glad for this but it was the brand that has already proven its worthiness to me with other effects that made me look at what they offered as compressor.

The Forcefield deserves indeed its name!

It is pro equipment and nothing else!

The 3 knobs controls are plenty enough for most people to use this compressor, with a truly satisfying output.

Another superb tc electronic product!

Does this company loves what it does and loves making it affordable? I really believe now that they do!

Great pedal at a great price!

I'm actually pleasantly surprised that I paid so little for this wonderful pedal! Simple approach to guitar compression without complicated controls just like the early CS1/2 from Boss.

Great pedal! Does what it was supposed to do!

Review is @ my youtube channel!

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.
