I wish there was some sort of industry standard for the names of controls on compressors. This uses sustain and attack. Others have threshold, release, ratio. Makes it difficult to know what to expect with the device.
I know this was 2 years ago, but I feel inclined to reply. You actually do know what to expect from the device based on these names, I'll explain it in a way that I heard that helped me out: Attack is how soon the compression engages Sustain is for how long the audio is squashed Decay is the amount it lets go over time Release is how long it takes to let go of the signal Ratio is how much is it compressing the audio Threshold is at what point does that compression begin in decibels So really you have described the industry standard for what is on a compressor, its just the pedal makers choosing which ones you the user get access to If you want a compressor that gives you most if not all of those look at the MXR m87 and the Empress, although those are rather pricey
This took my rumble 100 from bloomy meh (settings all at noon) to nice and tight. Havent tried another since this hit the sweet spot. Made my Fender CS '62 pups sing! Afraid to use my preamp it spunds so killer lol.
@@BassStuff thanks for your reply! If you can remember the tabs anytime, please contact me ;) im currently learning to play bass and im looking for cool lines to play for practice!

You should see dials on some special editions of the old milk box comp. Pasteurize? Quarts?

Attack is how soon the compression engages
Sustain is for how long the audio is squashed
Decay is the amount it lets go over time
Release is how long it takes to let go of the signal
Ratio is how much is it compressing the audio
Threshold is at what point does that compression begin in decibels
So really you have described the industry standard for what is on a compressor, its just the pedal makers choosing which ones you the user get access to

Sounds awesome on the fast setting to my ears. Reminds me of a boss CS-2

I just got it, but when I turn it on I lose a lot of volume, even though the volume knob is fully turned on. Any thoughts?
Open up the back. Turn the trim pot under the volume knob 1/16th of a turn counter clockwise.
Why is he always turning the vol-knob? This is only to align the volume between bypass and effect.
It's the makeup gain (the output volume) to match the volume the more you compress.
Why are you commenting?

Anyone knows the precision bass line in this video? Really like to play it :)
All the riffs are just small loop I create to fit with the nature of the pedals I want to demo 🙂

There's a similar riff in "Sleepflower" by The Manic Street Preachers (lol, oddly enough).
Might scratch that itch for ya :)
Had one of these. Great sound, but unreliable - broke within 6 months.
Lol dom't say that, I just bought one!! So far so good, it seems to be working okay
@@jonathanpeden9930 I hope it holds up for you! When it worked, it was good…
