What’s a Compressor?
Dynamics play an important role in music. They help to convey emotion, whether it’s a sultry blues solo or the unrelenting gallop of unfettered metal. But uncontrolled dynamics can take all your best intentions and turn them into so much, well…mush. That’s where compression comes in, softening loud sounds and boosting low signal levels to keep everything more uniform. So, a compressor’s main job is to make every note the same volume.
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 Use
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. Its LED tells you when it’s 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).

Sounds great! As an aspiring guitarist I find the pedal snobbery that seems to be the current trend a little off putting. It’s great if you can afford three hundred dollar pedals, it’s nice that I can afford a good sounding set up for about one fifty. This pedal is awesome. The sustain is fabulous and the compression just right. Along with a delay, chorus, an distortion/tube screamer my rig does everything I need it to. I run through a Fender Blues Deluxe 40 watt tube amp and I am happy with all my Behringer…
Can’t be beat for the price. This compressor works, and it works better than you’d think a $25 pedal would. I use it to smooth out the dynamics when playing rythm/chords on a strat. It also mellows your leads a bit. They key to getting the most out of it is to start out with all the controls at 12 ‘oclock, then make small changes. For me, I started by gradually reducing the attack (counter-clockwise) and then slowly raising the compression. When I got the setting that worked for my I left it there. I’ll also add that while…
Excellent pedal for the money I have had great results with the Behringer CS400 from the moment I started using it. The controls are easy to use, and each one helps you easily select the proper setting for the best sound. The electronics are clean and noise-free, and have enhanced the tones I generate from my basses. There are a few tweaks that i will need to nail down, as I have basses with both passive and active pickups.I was concerned at first about the ABS plastic body, but I have found the construction to be…
