Adds artifacts

Rocktrond 09.11.2023

As I have limited space on my pedalboard, and limited budget I went for compressor and gate from Flamma. The compressor I find starts to add some strange artifacts when sound starts to fade. This is when compression is above 10-11 o’clock and with gain up on the amp. It also adds a lot of hiss, which got better when putting the gate after it in the chain. With the gate before or after the pedal is useless. With the gate after and dialing it down it’s usable, but not great. Will look for a better option pretty soon.

extremely price competitive

Bart D. 11.08.2023

It is simple, but it works. It operates under low noise and does not lead into any internal clipping - something that is otherwise often the case on other cheap solutions. I can recommend this.

Best Choice For Your First Comp

Snot from Burg 27.11.2024

Great pedal to try compressor. I use it on 70% of my setups. In a very start of a chain (tuner doesn't count), comp on minimum, volume and tone in the middle. If you want to add fullness to your distortion try to slightly increase the volume. Also it absolutely good for a bass, I would say essential.
But take into account, it is an opto comp. If you need sparkles in your tone, you may need something closer to FET or VCA comps.
