Useful!

Edgar Blackdagger 08.06.2020

This is both a tool and a beauty filter for your sound, it sounds natural but it's also very fast (a bit too fast) so it can be used as a peak limiter. It's got medium flexibility, the release is great, it can be extremely slow, though I never turn it past 10 o'clock.

Now the bad stuff.
It does darken the sound slightly even with the compression knob at 0 and has a quiet-yet-present hissing noise when active, even with everything at 0 with no signal coming in or out of it. The lack of an Attack knob can make it a bit beginner-friendly but it could have been set slower because now it can choke the sound sometimes.
The internal option of a -15db pan is useful but maybe too extreme, it can be used if you boost everything on your active bass but this could be way better if it just had an input trim pot, like an 1176, since it has a fixed threshold.

For the price it's ok but I wouldn't buy it again, I would try a DynaComp Mini because it has 2 Attack modes and fixed, medium-fast release.

Compressor thet dont change sound of Your Bass.

I am using this for my fender MIM jazz bass and can say that this one makes his job. I like optocomp because it not changing sound of bass, but just make it more readable in live mix. Only thing that i don't like is that knobs are very easy to turn and you always must remember settings that you use. Knobs are turning even in soft pedalbox :(

Utilisation :
Premier compresseur donc je ne pourrais pas comparer.
Je l'utilise pour gérer la 5ème corde de la basse (B) qui était ingérable en répétition (surtout en passif). Branchée directement après la basse et avant une pédale d'overdrive.

Avantages et inconvénients :
Ce qui m'a fait l'acheter, elle est true bypass, fonctionne sur pile ou alim, une bonne tête et le prix est contenu.
Le constat, la construction a vraiment l'air solide c'est de l'Ampeg, le potard de Release permet de conserver toute l'attaque et donc le jeu garde toute sa dynamique en sonnant beaucoup plus pro. La compression me semble effectivement très propre (dans le sens ou elle ne semble pas "intrusive", il y a bien une compression bien sur mais le son n'est pas déformé) mais comme dit au début je n'ai pas de valeurs de comparaison.
Le seul petit défaut que je lui trouve est que les potards sont un peu lâches et se dérègles à chaque transport mais cela ne reste pas gênant pendant le jeu puisqu'il y a largement la place pour mettre le pied.

Conclusion :
j'aurais du mal à aborder un compresseur qui n'a pas ce potard de Release et pour le prix j'en suis tout a fait satisfait !
