I again agree with the previous review - don't know how this has not been mentioned by the other reviewers. It is virtually noiseless, but robs low frequencies, resulting in a tight and punchy, sparkly sound, good for funk. I like it, but it is by no means trasnparent or neutral.
Reliability/Durability:
Seems well made.
Ease of Use:
Easy, but I completely agree with the previous review by Giorgio - the sensitivity knob works in the opposite way as described in the manual. So -1 for the manual. And another -1 for difficult access to the battery compartment - you have to remove four screws and open the whole thing. I use it with an adaptor anyway.
Customer Support:
N/A
Overall Rating:
It is a nice compressor, it is useful to actually change the tone of the guitar a little bit, for variation. It adds treble and removes bass but it has a nice musicality. Look elsewhere if you want a permanent compression that leaves your tone intact. I have an EBS multicomp and that one is far more neutral, although it has less "soul" as well. For the price, a nice device to try out if you're into compressors.
