    Although labeled as a "used" guitar, it was in excellent condition; like new (for my standards). I was amazed! Great price although coming from Japan, and very fast delivery. I will definitely save "sound of sakura" as my preferred stores in japan. Great packaging also; not bulky but very well protected. Sometimes dealers "over package" the items increasing the freight costs. Not the case here. And of course .. A SUPERB PRICE. I am very very satisfied and will definitely buy again.

    The guitar arrived from Japan to Finland in less than 10 days after buying. It was packaged very well and the guitar was 98% in the promised condition (minor pick scrathes etc., nothing noticeable and as told, it was an used piece of gear). Would happily recommend this seller, arigatō!

    Great product, missing eq control.

    I love the tone I get out of this pedal. Keeps everything nice and clean while adding that natural sustained feel . Makes all your notes ring out quite well and the sustain can even create a swelling effect on chords that are held out. Can be used effectively to bring the tone out of any guitar. Additionally I would love for it to have eq control in order to bring out certain frequencies, but it does a great job regardless.

    Nope

    Just no- simple as that- nope. Sounds cheap and artificial and you can't seem to dial in the attack properly- you end up with it sustaining notes in an unnatural way and tons of noise form your fingers sliding on the strings- the pick attacking the note, etc. And I can't seem to dial it out- if I do, then it's not really compressing properly. My other compressors- much, much better- I can easily dial out all that unwanted noise without messing up my ratio, and when it sustains a note, it sounds right. Get a Keeley, get a Vertex, get a Xotic- if nothing else buy a budget Mosky C4- but don't get this.

    Works great

    I have tediously tried many bass compressor pedals and just couldn't find the one that I was comfortable with. You want a lot of sustain and a nice punchy but squashed signal for most rock or metal. I had been very impressed with the boss cs-3 for my guitar and wondered if there were a bass version. I stumbled accross the bass smasher which is a modified version of the cs-3 and felt very confident it would do what i wanted. It performs beautifully. The only reason i dont give it a five star is because it can still be a little noisy if dial up to high. But if you know how to use noise suppression gear this won't really bother you. I imagine when compressing notes with high sustain its very difficult to get rid of all the noise. Highly recommend for a cheap and easy way to get balanced tone ...

    Straight forward

    Straight forward and easy to use. Can be a little shrill if not used correctly but just work that eq a bit and you'll get it right. Can get a good chicken pickin' / country squash or just make your notes ring and sustain a bit more. Great to add balance and presence to arpeggios and and rhythm guitar. From my experience with a p bass and drum kits, it's not so hot, there's probably a better option, but for live it'd probably fine.

    Good compressor pedal, Boss is always high quality. Only thing I'd look out for is if you're getting an old/vintage one make sure to test out different voltages. a regular 9v adapter usually doesn't work and you should try the 12v or the 9v battery pack, worked great for me.
