Whether you’re usually stroking the strings on a sultry blues lick or running past the frets on an unfettered shred fest, you can add some extra dynamism to your sound at a fraction of a boutique guitar effects pedal’s cost with the Behringer CS400 Compressor/Sustainer. You can dial in the exact amount of compression you need via the Attack and Sustain knobs, set the level of highs via the Tone knob, and control overall output levels with the Level knob.

Powered by Boss’ game-changing Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology, the CP-1X Compressor is the vanguard of the next generation of compression effects pedals for guitars. Its four-knob interface makes it easy to preserve your tone’s character whatever genre you play, plus intelligent processing means you get a range of advanced dynamics control that you won’t find in the average compressor pedal. There’s even a handy gain reduction indicator so you can always tell exactly how much compression the pedal is applying.

The Carl Martin Compressor Limiter gives you the same sonic clarity and features available only in top-grade professional studio compressors. It incorporates a Threshold control working anti-clockwise, determining the amount of signal to be compressed. The Comp, Resp, and Gain knobs work clockwise. Comp determines the amount of compression applied to the signal enabled by the threshold setting, Gain sets the overall gain, while Resp determines the release/attack times. Busy shows how much compression is being applied, even in bypass mode.
