Donner Compressor Pedal, Ultimate Comp 2 Modes Compression Effect Pedal Pure Analog for Electric Guitar and Bass True Bypass

Product Information

It also has great build quality for the price and features useful additions such as a toggle switch for Normal and Treble mode, three parameter knobs, and true-bypass so that guitarists won’t have to worry about their tone being affected. The JHS Whitey Tighty is a mini FET compressor with 3 simple controls over Compression, Volume, and Blend. It was designed to be used as an “always-on” device. Particularly useful to have a blend knob for more subtle parallel compression. They are very sensitive to micro-dynamics and transients making them ideally suited for percussive instruments, but you’ll commonly find them used with basses, guitars, and even vocals. If you are looking for a transparent compressor with low distortion, to even out your signal when switching from fingerstyle to slapping or popping, this could be the best choice for the task. Optical compressors The Donner Ultimate Comp is a great choice for those who want a reliable compressor guitar effect pedal but are on a budget. This Donner compressor pedal is just one of many other mini pedals from the brand but is the only guitar compressor variant from Donner with no other related products. The compression effect of the pedal is excellent and sounds really natural. This means that it will not flatten the dynamics of your playing entirely but balances it properly with boosting or softening the notes wherever necessary. It also gives the user a wide range of control with its adjustment knobs to find the sweet spot for any setting. Without a doubt, the users get more than what they pay for in terms of versatility, ease of use, and sound quality.

Even though the Kokko compressor pedal produces a noise when the knobs are turned past up, it is still an excellent investment that sounds outstanding with knobs on lower levels. Besides, the tone control lets the muted warm tones balance your sharp cuts pretty nicely. But, I think the Donner Ultimate Comp does a better job in sound quality overall and also has much more versatility, as mentioned before. Furthermore, the Donner compressor pedal, Ultimate Comp, features a toggle switch to select between Normal and Treble mode. This feature adds versatility and will be discussed further later on. This kind of versatility is great for a compressor guitar effect pedal as it can cater to different types of tones or playing. Controls

The Level knob allows you to increase or decrease the volume of your guitar’s signal. This is one of the most common yet useful controls found in a guitar effect pedal, so a control knob for this on the Donner compressor pedal is a welcome addition. The other small knob is for the Tone, which allows you to go for a warmer or brighter tone depending on your preference. Turn your compressor on and off while tweaking the make-up gain until you stop hearing a difference in volume between the compressor being on and off

Thanks to its 3-way intensity switch and blend control knob, the Xotic SP Compressor outruns the Donner Ultimate Comp in terms of versatility. Its performance is also better than the Donner pedal and blends the enhancements to your tone much better. The Treble mode provides a treble-heavy effect on your signal by providing a brighter optical compressor sound with more bite. It adds more focus on the high end of the sound. This mode is excellent for funky tones and players who like their compressor pedals coloring their guitar tone. In terms of sound quality, the 2-way toggle switch is pretty essential. They both have different characteristics, which give way to different effects. As you may know, there is a debate going on whether the compressor pedal should color the guitar tone or not. For this, Donner came with the solution of this 2-way switch. Normal Mode

Admittedly, a compressor is not a particularly creative pedal, but it can make a huge difference in your tone. It can be used in a “set and forget” kind of way (in particular if you play rhythmic guitar or bass, which require steady levels), or be activated when you need more “body,” as you would do with a clean boost. In sparse music, it can be used to prolong your notes’ sustain. However, in most situations, compressors don’t need to be tweaked from song to song – which is why a lot of players are opting for the mini pedal format. Hence this guide focused on mini-compressors!
