What's a Compressor? Dynamics play an important role in music

They help to convey emotion, whether it's a sultry blues solo or the unrelenting gallop of unfettered metal

But uncontrolled dynamics can take all your best intentions and turn them into so much, well...mush

That's where compression comes in, softening loud sounds and boosting low signal levels to keep everything more uniform

So, a compressor's main job is to make every note the same volume

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

Easy to Use You can dial in the right amount of compression using the dedicated ATTACK and SUSTAIN dials

The LEVEL control allows you to set the output to subtle, or engage a monster volume boost

TONE lets you add exactly the right level of highs

From clean, snappy country leads to rock solos that scream for eons, the CS400 is built to make your sound the center of attention

Its LED tells you when it's on, and the top-quality on/off switch maintains outstanding signal integrity in bypass mode

You can power this scene-stealer with either a 9 V battery or our PSU-SB DC power supply (not included)

Value The COMPRESSOR/SUSTAINER CS400 is an affordable way to add some serious finesse to your playing
