Detail 01
Limiter, not a soft compressor
It clamps peaks above a set point rather than gently squeezing everything, so quiet notes keep their dynamics.

BOSSLMB-3 Bass Limiter Enhancer
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bass limiter and enhancer pedal. For bassists who want to even out level swings and add presence in a compact pedal format.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Evening out volume jumps between slapped and fingerstyle passages
- Keeping the low end steady into a live PA or amp
- Recording bass where peaks need controlling before the interface
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitarists — the circuit is voiced for bass frequencies
- Players who want dirt, drive, or distortion from a pedal
- Anyone wanting a rack unit with metering and detailed threshold control
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Enhancer section
Adds upper-frequency presence so a limited signal does not sound dull after the peaks come down.
Detail 03
2.87 x 5.08 x 2.32 inch chassis
The standard compact pedal footprint, so it slots into an existing bass board without a layout rethink.
Detail 04
0.84 lb weight
Light for a metal pedal. Easy to carry, and it still sits stable underfoot with adhesive tape.
Detail 05
Bass-specific voicing
The detection and enhancement are tuned to low frequencies, so it does not thin out the fundamental the way a guitar compressor can.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your power setup. Check what the pedal needs before assuming your board covers it.
- 02Limiting is subtle when set correctly. Expect to spend time dialing it in.
- 03Best placed early in the chain, before drive or amp modeling.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between a limiter and a compressor?
A limiter clamps only the loudest peaks above a threshold. A compressor squeezes a wider range of the signal, changing overall dynamics more noticeably.
02Will this work for guitar?
It is built for bass. The detection and enhancer are voiced for low frequencies, so guitar results will be less useful.
03Where should it go in my signal chain?
Early, before drive or amp modeling, so it controls the raw instrument dynamics rather than the output of other pedals.
04What does the enhancer do?
It adds upper-frequency presence. Limiting can make bass sound dull, and the enhancer brings back clarity and attack definition.
