I liked the combination of Bloom and Limiter together. I could imagine this as the right choice for Bass players live or in the studio. For crunchy guitar stuff, the Limit circuit tightens up rhythm parts quite nicely. Also, if you are looking for that typical comp sustain, there is plenty here. The PressuRizer sounds fat and musical in every setting I tried. There is another cool feature with the Boost control. Like myself, lots of guys I know leave the compressor on all the time. By holding down the Footswitch for a couple of seconds, the pedal goes into Boost mode and locks the compressor on turning the LED green. Now when you hit the switch, it becomes a boost that’s adjustable with the side knob. For live, I like this mode. In the studio, I’m typically using more than one compressor. One is smooth, and one is spanky. The PressuRizer can do both. TAKE AWAY: I love compressors, and they’re your friends in many ways. PressuRizer does much more than other similar units. It looks cool, and after spending time with it, I’ve come to appreciate the genius behind it. You can tell that James put much thought into this design. I’m sure it’s from working with top touring and studio guys. It’s studio quality and equally compatible on guitar and bass. I’m impressed with the mounting options, and how light it is. If you are a professional musician, you’ll appreciate of the PressuRizer. quality If you’re and looking features for a straightforward compressor, it does that just fine too. I’ve used a dozen or so compressors, and this is one of the best. I hope you get to check it out. $210.00 Street Price Amptweaker.com Michael Hodge Record Producer, Writer, Studio musician, Staff Guitarist at Lakewood Church Houston TX.
