First-class electronic On/Off switch for highest signal integrity in bypass mode COMPRESSOR/SUSTAINER CS400 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! What is 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 through – like never before. 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 effect. Easy to Operate 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 power source or our PSU-SB DC power supply (not included). Sound Value 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.

Review: Does the job on bass guitar at a fraction of the cost - With arthritis spreading into my wrists and fingers, I felt my bass playing had become sloppy with some notes sounding louder than others. I have used Behringer products before and found them ok so bought the compressor to give me a little help. The CS400 does the job and my bass playing now sounds as even and percussive as it always was. At under £20, it is a bargain and is as effective as the more expensive boxes on the market. I only tweak the pedal but it is capable of far more and would recommend it. I have given 1 less star for durability as obviously metal cases are better but don't worry about the plastic casing, it's solid and should take the traumas of gigs easily and at this price you could buy several. Review: Cheerful Price, Only Some Limitations. - Hmmm...I have several of the effect pedals in Behringer's excellent "budgety" range and I think they are great. Well made, thoughtfully designed, easy to use. Creatively, they are good to work with as they are intuitive (you turn nobs until it sounds right- it's not a mission to Mars type software bore). So, the Compressor/Sustainer : how is it? I am using it for electric guitar work being fed in to a mutitrack recorder, the notion being that compression should help parts to "blend"in rather than sounding like a guitar part is STUCK-ON to another piece of music. And do you know what?...it does that. It' is also good for punchy bass guitar and keyboards that sound less muddy. Just one thing...with the Sustain effect (it works) turned up, there is a lot of noise and hiss coming from the unit- unfortunately this is a bit like having a stone in a running trainer: it doesn't STOP me enjoying the other features, but every now and again "CROWNCH!" there it is. Mocking my dreams. I'm renaming it Compressor and Gramophone Sampler. ## Features - Smooth, Consistent Tone: Compress dynamic range by softening peaks and boosting quieter signals, ensuring every note maintains steady, velvety sustain - Precise Control: Dial in the perfect compression with dedicated Attack, Sustain, Level, and Tone controls to shape your sound with unmatched precision - Balanced Performance: Level instrument volume across strings for a balanced, articulate tone—ideal for everything from subtle leads to powerful solos - Reliable Operation: A bright LED indicator and top-quality on/off switch guarantee excellent signal integrity in bypass mode - Flexible Power Options: Operates on a 9V power source or the PSU-SB DC power supply (not included) for dependable performance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002X8Y4SQ | | Amperage | 0.3 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Compression, Sustain | | Best Sellers Rank | 82 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 3 in Guitar Compression Effects | | Brand | Behringer | | Brand Name | Behringer | | Colour | turqouise | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch audio | | Controls Type | Knob | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,806 Reviews | | Finish Type | Painted | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | Compressor,Sustainer, User'S Manual | | Item Dimensions | 7.1 x 5.3 x 12.2 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7L x 5.4W x 12.3H centimetres | | Item Type Name | BEHRINGER CS400 Ultimate Dynamics Effects Pedal Green | | Item Weight | 318 g | | Item weight | 318 g | | Manufacturer | Music Tribe | | Manufacturer Part Number | P0605 | | Model Name | CS400 | | Model Number | CS400 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | Community.

The chorus in particular thickens the sound nicely and you'll have lots of fun playing with the pitch function.
