COMPRESSOR/SUSTAINER CS400
Ultimate Dynamics Eect s Pedal
Thank you for show ing your condence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER COMPRESSOR SUSTAINER
CS400. This ultimate eects pedal is specically designed to achieve super-smooth compression and
endless sustain. Thanks to its high-per formance features you can compress loud and boost low signals
without degrading the original sound.
A compressor limits the dynamic range of a signal. This means that signal peaks will be attenuated and
the level dierences between loudest and softest playing are reduced. This results in a more powerful
and pressure-rich tone.
