How to choose
Pick based on your instrument first, then decide how much control over compression you want.
Beginner
If you are new to compression, the CS-3 Compression Sustainer is a simple, classic pedal that is easy to set and hear the effect of. Start with a light setting and increase gradually until you notice sustain without losing your natural dynamics.
Intermediate
As you refine your tone, the CP-1X offers more detailed control over how compression is applied compared to a basic pedal. Try it in different positions in your signal chain to hear how it interacts with drive and modulation pedals.
Expert
Bass players working on a tight, consistent low end should reach for the BC-1X Bass Compressor, built specifically for bass frequencies rather than adapted from a guitar pedal. Fine-tune attack and release settings to match your playing style and the room you are in.
