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.I love the tone I get out of this pedal.

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. Just no- simple as that- nope.

Great Cost to Quality Ratio. Typical Boss reliability & quality on a budget
The Boss CS-3 pedal is a decent compressor. Its definitely worth finding a cheaper used one because they are durable and last forever. The cost to sound quality ratio is good compared to other pedals. I use it first in my effects chain to increase attack and occasionally use it as a gain booster to help overdrive my preamp. The volume knob can match the pedal volume to your clean volume no matter how much compression you dial in. The level pot has a lot of range from zero to loud. The tone pot is not very useful set on low or high as the range is a little extreme. Attack and sustain knobs are effective from zero to about 2 o'clock. If turned up too high there is considerable noise and hiss between notes. Great pedal for the cost. Like all reasonably priced compressors the more ... The Boss CS-3 pedal is a decent compressor.

Find a used one for $40-50 and you'll always use it somewhere in your pedal chain.

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. Straight forward and easy to use.
