Donner Compressor Pedal, Ultimate Comp 2 Modes Compression Effect Pedal Pure Analog for Electric Guitar and Bass True Bypass

Product Information

Admittedly, a compressor is not a particularly creative pedal, but it can make a huge difference in your tone. Its noise floor is very low but it’s not entirely silent, it’s still better than what most compressors have on offer. Key Specs: The TLC features 4 control knobs: Level – adjusts the output level of the pedal from -infinity to -3dBu, the Threshold knob varies the point at which the compressor engages from -30dBu to -10dBu, Attack sets how fast the compressor will respond when reaching the threshold from 10ms to 100ms and Slope which lets you dial in the compression ratio from 2:1 to infinity. This compressor does a good job of lowering the loudest parts of my playing, and equalizes my picking and strumming.

Donner Ultimate Comp - Review of Compressor Effect Pedal

Guitarists on a tight budget looking for a decent compressor pedal with great versatility and a more than satisfying sound quality can prefer the Donner Ultimate Comp pedal without hesitation. This mode is for players who do not like the compressor pedals, heavily affecting the tones of their instruments. Having a comp pedal for every performance is a great idea to keep your playing and mix with the rest of the band consistent. This is how it levels out your playing dynamics and should help you stay on a volume where your playing is heard while not overpowering the other instruments in the mix.

It also gives the user a wide range of control with its adjustment knobs to find the sweet spot for any setting. This digital compressor uses a multiband compression algorithm to separate the incoming signal into 3 different frequency bands and give each one a different amount of compression. A ratio of 2:1 means that the signal will be attenuated by 2dB for every 1dB above the threshold, at a ratio of 4:1 it will be 4dB lower for every 1dB above, and so on. Set the level, flick the switch to normal and tone to taste then dial up that compression knob to a level you like. it fattened up my tone, I could still play lightly, kick on the overdrive, it all sounded like going from a micro amp to a stadium rig!

It has a simple 4 knob layout with Compression, Attack, Level, and Blend controls, that are straightforward to use. After watching a video with Michael Angelo Batio and talking to my friends I thought a compressor could really help. Compression really does shape the sound into something more full to the ear and I cannot recommend this compressor enough to anyone that doesn't have one yet. Compared to the Becos CompIQ MINI Pro Compressor the Ultimate Comp lacks the gain metering, wet/dry signal balance feature, and also a hard/soft knee control, and full threshold dial.The Multi-Comp is very transparent in its Normal and Multi-Band modes, while the TubeSim mode adds a lot of character and warmth to your sound. I definitely would appreciate this DC 9V power supply placement on my other pedals to maximize the space on my board.
