Behringer CS400 Ultimate Dynamics Effects Pedal
If tone is the name of your game, the COMPRESSOR/SUSTAINER CS400 will add amazing impact to your tone and provide endless sustain.
What is 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.
Easy to Operate
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).

Used this with a CS9 Limiter to learn signal chain balance alongside pick attack with pickup height.
And here's the thing for me, dialing in taught me actual kinesthetic control we're told we can use to not need compression.
So under $100 to learn applicable skills... A pedal or 2 CAN make a better player.
As I said dialing in; learning how the hear when the compressors do their thing & when to want them to happen.
It sets GUIDELINES on pick attack techniques & is sooooo helpful for those flutey vibrato accents.

awesome. you're an idiot for buying a compressor that is more expensive. If colouring your tone is your game, this ain't the pedal for 'ya.
