Reviews

Feature:
Does everything you might reasonably ask of a basic compressor. The gain reduction meters are great for seeing how much compression is being applied. A dedicated limiter might be a useful addition.

Quality:
Solid and reliable.

Value:
Difficult to beat at this price [around 100 quid].

Desirability:
Feels nice and has never let me down. It's a dbx.

Sound:
Once connected, it gets on with the job quietly and efficiently.

Ease of Use:
The controls are intuitive and setting up is straight forward.

Overall:
Having compared a few budget compressors, this one seems to have a sensible balance of features and price.
