Independent shopping perspective
MXR’s Studio Compressor puts attack, release, ratio, input, and output control directly underfoot, so you can set anything from light compression to a heavily squashed effect. The bright LED meter shows gain reduction as you play, giving you immediate visual feedback onstage. Constant Headroom Technology is intended to keep the result clear and transparent while retaining the dynamics you choose. Its lightweight aluminum enclosure occupies a compact 2.68 x 2.01 x 4.41-inch footprint, about the size of a Phase 90.
