    Boss CS-3 Compressor/Sustainer Pedal

    • Loved the tone it produces too.
    • Great tone & sustain oozes from this little box & stays in the "On" position for most of the time I am playing my electric guitars, especially any Stratocaster styled guitar I own.
    • This is the pedal for clean tone!
    • im now searching for another compressor, this one generates way too much background noise,however it has grate tone
    • Put this on my Thunderbird through a Peavy stack and it substantially improved the top end sound and the tone
    • As for the latter complaint (changes tone), that's also true, but it's not necessarily a bad thing if you LIKE the tone that results.
    • This can result in a muddy, "neutered" tone, though you can play with the TONE and other settings to help it.
    • I took this off my board because it kills all tone.
