Behringer CS400 Compressor / Sustainer Effects Pedal
Product
Information:
Whether it’s a million-dollar hook or a soul-wrenching solo, some licks
are just begging for some undivided attention from the COMPRESSOR/
SUSTAINER CS400. By pumping up quieter notes and bringing down the
louder ones, this little magic box packages your sound into one
velvety-smooth and consistent volume. With the CS400 in your
pedalboard – you’ll enjoy virtually-endless sustain and ultra-stable
dynamics!
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 through – like never before.
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 effect.
You can dial in the right amount of compression using the dedicated
Attack and Sustain dials. The Level control allows you to set the
output to subtle, or engage a monster volume boost. Tone lets you
add exactly the right level of highs. From clean, snappy country
leads to rock solos that scream for eons, the CS400 is built to make
your sound the center of attention. The bright stays LED tells you
when the CS400 is on, and the top-quality on/off switch maintains
outstanding signal integrity in bypass mode. You can power this
scene-stealer with either a 9 V battery or our PSU-SB DC power
supply (not included).
Push the good stuff to center stage with the COMPRESSOR/SUSTAINER
CS400. This pedal smoothes out volume peaks and provides endless
sustain with ultra-stable dynamics via the dedicated Sustain, Level
and Attack time controls – for the ultimate in sound shaping. Try
