What’s a Compressor?
Dynamics play an important role in music; they help to convey emotion, whether it’s a sweet and sultry blues solo – or the relentless gallop of molten metal. But uncontrolled dynamics can take all your best intentions and turn them into so much… well… mush. That’s where compression comes to the rescue – softening loud sounds, and boosting low signal levels that often get lost in the mix. So the primary function of a compressor is to make every note the same volume level. The resulting compressed signal creates a much more dense, impactful sound, with richness and room for your subtle nuances coming through – like never before.
Balancing Act
Ever notice how some strings on your guitar or bass sound louder than others? This is partly due to physics; strings with lower mass just don’t put out as much volume as the heavier ones. When used properly, a compressor makes all of the strings the same volume. Compressors are also great for slap-style bass players, making thumb slaps, string pulls and muted notes all the same volume, for an extremely percussive effect.
It’s Easy!
Twist the Level knob to determine this pedal’s overall output, adjust the Attack to give the front-end of every strum and pluck added definition, then dial in the amount of sustain desired. The status LED tells you when the CL9 is on, and the high-quality on/off switch maintains incredible signal integrity in bypass mode. You can power the amazing CL9 with either a 9 V battery or our PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).
Sound Value
Push the good stuff to center stage with the COMPRESSOR/LIMITER CL9. This pedal smoothes out volume peaks and provides endless sustain with ultra-stable dynamics via the dedicated Sustain, Level and Attack time controls – for the ultimate in sound shaping.

Good compressor i use it with my analog synth to level up the bass and use it for sidechaining

なりは安っぽいですが箱はしっかりしています。
すごく古いグヤトーンのもあるのですが安かったので購入したのですが、それまで不自然な感じがしてあまりコンプは使わなかったのですがこれは不自然な感じがなくすごく良い感じです。強い効果を求める向きには向かないのかもですが安いので一台あれば色々便利だと思います。ただ、バッテリー交換方法とアダプタの差込口は改善してほしい。

Good price on a decent pedal
I’m fond of Behringer pedals–they work OK and can take an internal 9 Vdc battery. This was a good bargain and I’m a bit of a completist, so now I have a red one and a green one…. Complaints about the plastic housing are probably more speculative than real–unless you’re playing 300 nights a year and have a very heavy stomp, these pedals should last.

便利で安いです。
まだ、多重録音にこれを使っていないのですが、今まで、入力が強過ぎたり弱過ぎたりしていたので、まあ、宅録する人達は、当たり前にこういうのを使ってられたんでしょうけど、私も購入しました。重宝すると思います(^_^)

Suprisingly useful
This work great. Really nice to get even sound or you can use the attack to let more transiants ou and still hear picking when putting some gain on. Tapping and fast licks sound much clearer too. Volume boost can crank up an amp, everything sounds louder.Cons; Just brings out the noise if you play single coils. Made of plastic if your known to destroy everything
