Review: Dynamic and Versatile, Quality Pedal - I bought this pedal to emulate a BOSS pedal set-up which a favorite band of mine had used. Of all the pedals I had purchased, this one of the two most powerful BOSS pedals I have purchased. My playing sounds so much more refined and rich despite playing with some of my louder and more powerful amps. The pedal creates a warm and resonant sound which pairs amazingly with the likes of a BOSS "reverb" and "space echo" pedals. I recommend this pedal to anyone building a BOSS pedal set-up or any other combination pedal-kit.
Review: Boss Quality! - This pedal is a godsend. What can I say? I'm a punk guitarist and I live in a block of flats so have to keep my (Marshall) combo down in volume. However with this pedal plugged in, with a Boss overdrive/distortion pedal chained, I can play as if the amp is cranked up. My Les Paul begins to play itself, even with the amp low. I find it useful when playing licks that include single notes played over several beats, or a few bars, as the sustain makes the note really sing and keeps it nice and consistent over the "gap" until the next note, or chord is played, so it makes the playing sound "big". It tightens the playing, makes the guitar sing, works absolutely beautifully with muted "chugging" and I love it! It might take a while altering settings on your combo/stack in conjunction with other pedals you may have and the cs-3 itself but its worth the effort. It's also very sturdy as you'd expect with a Boss pedal. Never mind the bollocks here's the Boss CS-3!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How well would this pedal work when used with a Rickenbacker 360 12 to get a Byrd’s jangly sound?**
A: This is a compressor and sustainer; it's not a guitar modeller.; all it does is to help sustain the note you are playing.  So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star, then listen now to what I say....  Just get your R-360-12 electric guitar and take some time and learn how to play, then in a week or two when your hair's grown right and your pants are tight, you'll get Roger's jangly tone and a falsetto voice.  I love my CS-3, but it won't give you The Byrd's jangly tone.  You really need to get the sound in your head translated through your fingers into the guitar.

**Q: What would be a typical setup for a solo electro acoustic guitar player (strumming and light fingerpicking)?**
A: as Per the pic would be a good start,all straight up,but then use your ears to make Adjustments

**Q: Im a newbee please explain what minimally do i need to use this pedal. all i have so far is a lp copy and a marshall amp.**
A: You can use a compressor in a number of different ways… to balance the signal coming into your amp, to provide thickness or boost to a solo or to clip a signal so that the sound sits better in a recording mic or band setting.
You really need to try and use your ears to see what works for you

**Q: The 100 watt amp has that got a built in speaker ;) never heard of a compressor pedal with integrated power amp .**
A: Not 100% sure about this question. I bought this sustain pedal to use with my Laney studio amp. The pedal has no integrated 'power amp'; it's a conventional foot pedal. You can use it between the guitar and the amp...or in the fx loop of the amp. I do the second; thereby reducing any noise from the pedal. Does this help?

Classic boss compressor, goes from fast attacking, percussive, all the way to smooth and sustaining compression. A must for any pedal board / studio.
