This review is based on being used for a Bass. That said, THIS IS the best compressor I have ever used. I tried Boss, DOD, Digitech, Behringer, Arion, Yamaha and others I don't even remember over the years. All the knobs really work and adjust sound unlike the other brands. I bought this pedal new in 1982. Then it was ripped off at a gig about 10 years ago. I tried all those other and ended up back with the CP9. This really wakes up any bass on any amp at any volume. Every note is clearer, more full bodied & all the same volume . 3 knobs, Attack, level, sustain
Good Points: It's a high quality pedal in construction & sound. You can buy a cheaper one but if you ever try this one you'll hear the difference right away. Very thick metal box, hand wired thick circuit board, easy battery change.
Bad Points: Price. Not made by Ibanez any more. Used ones can be up there in price.
Price Paid: US$100.00
Purchased At: Ebay
