Simple Controls
Most people will buy a compressor for different reasons. Some will want a nice fast attack for funk play while others will want longer sustains on their solos. Some other people will just want to even out their guitars sound in a way that removes the sharp peaks for a much fuller tone.
This one pedal can do all of those things with just two controls. You have your compressor which sets how much compression is applied to your signal and an output level. This pedal can run hot when you turn up the output so consider it to be a small boost as well if you want.
Modern Updates
The original DOD 280 was an amazing compressor and is still highly desired even today. Sadly it doesn’t have all of the modern features that you would want to put it on your pedalboard…This reissue does have all of those modern features however.
Not only does this pedal have true bypass to keep your signal clear when bypassed but it now runs on a standard 9v power supply so you can easily get this connected to your pedalboard.
