    Great product, missing eq control.

    I love the tone I get out of this pedal. Keeps everything nice and clean while adding that natural sustained feel . Makes all your notes ring out quite well and the sustain can even create a swelling effect on chords that are held out. Can be used effectively to bring the tone out of any guitar. Additionally I would love for it to have eq control in order to bring out certain frequencies, but it does a great job regardless.

    Nope

    Just no- simple as that- nope. Sounds cheap and artificial and you can't seem to dial in the attack properly- you end up with it sustaining notes in an unnatural way and tons of noise form your fingers sliding on the strings- the pick attacking the note, etc. And I can't seem to dial it out- if I do, then it's not really compressing properly. My other compressors- much, much better- I can easily dial out all that unwanted noise without messing up my ratio, and when it sustains a note, it sounds right. Get a Keeley, get a Vertex, get a Xotic- if nothing else buy a budget Mosky C4- but don't get this.

    Works great

    I have tediously tried many bass compressor pedals and just couldn't find the one that I was comfortable with. You want a lot of sustain and a nice punchy but squashed signal for most rock or metal. I had been very impressed with the boss cs-3 for my guitar and wondered if there were a bass version. I stumbled accross the bass smasher which is a modified version of the cs-3 and felt very confident it would do what i wanted. It performs beautifully. The only reason i dont give it a five star is because it can still be a little noisy if dial up to high. But if you know how to use noise suppression gear this won't really bother you. I imagine when compressing notes with high sustain its very difficult to get rid of all the noise. Highly recommend for a cheap and easy way to get balanced tone ...

    Straight forward

    Straight forward and easy to use. Can be a little shrill if not used correctly but just work that eq a bit and you'll get it right. Can get a good chicken pickin' / country squash or just make your notes ring and sustain a bit more. Great to add balance and presence to arpeggios and and rhythm guitar. From my experience with a p bass and drum kits, it's not so hot, there's probably a better option, but for live it'd probably fine.

    Good compressor pedal, Boss is always high quality. Only thing I'd look out for is if you're getting an old/vintage one make sure to test out different voltages. a regular 9v adapter usually doesn't work and you should try the 12v or the 9v battery pack, worked great for me.
