BBE Opto Stomp Optical Compressor Guitar and Bass Pedal Reviews

Some control volume more by boosting the signal then attenuating it, some add distinctive tonal characteristics. Some have a very noticable hard-knee in the compression curve. Keeping all that in mind, if you know what this one does, AND YOUR WANT WHAT IT DOES, its a great little piece of equipment. Although its a stomp-box, it functions more like a studio compressor. By that I mean, its best used strictly to regulate overall volume in a "transparrent" way. If you want to click it on to solo and get boost + ringing sustain + classic stomp-box compressed tone - buy a different one. If you want to transparrently even out volume of inconsistent pick-ups, if you want to smooth out inconsistent pick attacks, if you want to use different playing techniques without worrying changing volume - its a great choice.

Amazon sent me the wrong unit twice. They sent me the older unit that has a lasso and rope graphic on the pedal. You will not get what is pictured as they must not have any units left that have the -15db switch which is good for active basses. Buy with caution. Did I mention they sent me the wrong unit even a second time? Seems the pickers just pick forget about reading a refund reason. Oh and the older unit sells for 60 dollars right here on Amazon back in July.... Gonna buy a Markbass Compressore at The local music store.... :( 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Subtle pedal, nicely built, easy to operate, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: BBE Opto Stomp Optical Compressor Guitar and Bass Pedal (Electronics) This little pedal is really nice if you are looking for a subtle way to help your sound. I play bass, and I use this pedal now all the time, although I may use it for select songs as I learn more about it. If you are looking for a radical makeover in your tone, this is not the pedal for you. If you are looking for the finishing touches to an already nice tone, this is worth looking at. The Amazon price is almost half what it costs on other sites, and if you have Amazon Prime, return shipping is free, so you have nothing to lose by trying it out! |
