Não funciona

it was ok from the first day and sooner it gives me pop sound when clocking the pedal button.... so disappointing.... i thinkg this one i purchase is fake... or simple just defective

I have had this pedal for a while and it has not left my board. It is simply a great compressor. I have owned and tried other compressors like the DynaComp and DBX, and I prefer this one. It is more adjustable and tiny. Some players don't like compression and that's fine but. I prefer a natural tone that puts me just over the edge of break-up. So for me a compressor does what an overdrive pedal does without the distortion. We love overdrive because its adds compression and sustain, but what it you want compression and sustain without the overdrive/distortion? The answer is compression. This one allows you to try compression cheap! Form Factor: It is nice and small, and has a sturdy metal case. Used a normal power supply and components seems quality. Zero problems in two years. Durable and reliable. Performance: It does what a guitar compressor should. The three knobs allow you to dial in light or heavy. I use it as a boost by setting the level a little above unity gain so it hits my amps and gives me nice natural break up at reasonable volumes. It also cleans up my playing a bit, smoothing out any variation in my right hand. Tweak the sustain knob for lots of natural sustain. Attack dials in when it kicks in so you can dial in or out the initial pick attack. You can set it so you barely notice it's there, or heavy as an effect. The Dynacomp was too intrusive for me where the Kokko is adjustable. Noise can be a problem with compressors but it is not with this one. As you call tell, I love this pedal. I recommend it to anyone who will listen including bass players. It's well worth the price and outperforms more expensive pedals. If you are curious about compression, this is perfect.

Bought this to use with my six string ibanez bass. I am not disappointed; it works well. It does not sound noisy to me, though any compressor is going to bring up noise inherent in your signal path, so expect more noise if you have a bunch of pedals or a noisy instrument before it. With some judicious tweaking, I get a punchy sound with good sustain. I have a feeling this is going to be an "always on" pedal in my bass rig. It is build solidly, though there is a rattle when I shake it which I find worrying. At some point I'm going to take it apart and figure out what that is, but for now it seems ok. Not gonna knock a star off for that, because for $20 I'm just happy it's not plastic. Bass players be advised: it will knock out some low end when engaged. Spectrum analyzer shows a 2-3 db drop from 80 to 40 hz.

So, I mostly decided to write a review because of something I was unhappy with, but I'll cover that at the end because my experience has been largely positive. I've run this at both 9V and 18V over the past couple days, both seem to work well and at the suggestion of another review I'm keeping it at 18V unless I start hearing something about that being a bad idea. First time using a compressor on my live setup (have always done digital compression in my DAW for recording setup), pretty sure I'm going to be using one on all my boards in the future. This has helped me take my gain staging into territory I never thought possible (putting a lot of gain behind my fuzz pedal sounds *awesome*...I wish more people talked about how useful gain could be for that.) I'm a pretty high-gain guitarist, but up until now have always tried to cover my gain with what's already on my pedals. As such the sustain and volume knobs are the most valuable for my play style. The sustain has allowed me to use my fuzz for the long drones and bends I've fond of -- I used to use my BOSS ODB-3 with my fuzz behind it for this, but am now considering getting rid of the ODB-3 despite it being a mainstay of my board for 4 years since it can be very hissy. The attack knob could use more versatility. My clean tone is still a little too dynamic despite a good bit of experimentation, and I really bought this so I could tame my cleans. That said, I may just need to experiment more, which brings me to my first gripe -- the manual might as well not even come with the pedal for how useless it is. I'm *assuming* that the knob being turned all the way to the left means that its waiting as short a time as it can before it engages because that's how the compressor in my DAW works......but I really have no idea. The manual pretty much just says that each knob is each knob. Quoting the manual: ATTACK KNOB Set the attack time of compression effect. ....That's not super helpful. As it says "time" I'm assuming that it the ratio isn't inverse, and as such the further clockwise it is turned the longer it waits, but it could also mean that a dimed attack means "as fast as possible." Again, I need to experiment more, but that's a little frustrating. My actual negative experience though was that out of the box, I heard something rattling inside. "Great, bad solder joint" is the first thing that came to mind. I figured I'd see if it worked and ended up waiting a couple days before I decided to just open it up and see what the rattle was. Turned out that the internal second nut and the star washer on the footswitch just weren't tightened in any meaningful way -- the nut on the outside of the enclosure was doing all the heavy lifting -- so I removed them. So, its actually fine...but that was also an unnecessary frustration. Being that cheaper pedals don't always have the greatest name, I'm kinda surprised that they just didn't do that in the first place; I'm sure a less inquisitive guitarist would've simply asked for a refund or return. And I mean...that probably happens a good bit. There's gotta be a lot of guitarists buying cheaper pedals who are too afraid to look at the circuit. Final verdict: The unit itself is good, but could use a little more versatility. The included literature could use a do-over, but assuming that it works as expected, is technically unnecessary; its just frustrating that they even bothered to include a manual if it didn't say much of anything useful.
