What’s a Compressor?

Dynamics play an important role in music;
they help to convey emotion, whether it’s a
sweet and sultry blues solo – or the relentless
gallop of molten metal. But uncontrolled
dynamics can take all your best intentions
and turn them into so much... well… mush.
That’s where compression comes to the rescue
– softening loud sounds, and boosting low
signal levels that often get lost in the mix.
So the primary function of a compressor is
to make every note the same volume level.
Theresulting compressed signal creates a much
more dense, impactful sound, with richness
and room for your subtle nuances coming

Classic Compressor/Limiter E ects Pedal

Balancing Act

Ever notice how some strings on your guitar or bass sound louder than others? This is partly due to
physics; strings with lower mass just don’t put out as much volume as the heavier ones. When used
properly, a compressor makes all of the strings the same volume. Compressors are also great for
slap-style bass players, making thumb slaps, string pulls and muted notes all the same volume,
foran extremely percussive e ect.

It’s Easy!

Twist the Level knob to determine this pedal’s overall output, adjust the Attack to give the front-end
of every strum and pluck added de nition, then dial in the amount of sustain desired. The status LED
tells you when the CL9 is on, and the high-quality on/o switch maintains incredible signal integrity
in bypass mode. You can power the amazing CL9 with either a 9 V battery or our PSU-SB DC power
supply (not included).
