Marshall ED-1 Compressor Review

History:

Purchase: Buoght in Budapest, Hungary, in a famous guitar store. It was 21000FT (90$) I use mostly the new Marshall stompboxes. I wanted to enhance and improve my solos and the whole sounding.

Pros: First, a compressor pedal is the one, that a guitarist adds last to his equipment. Once a beginner said: "this sux, it does nothing!". This pedal is very versatile. Helps to even the volume, adds sustain or cuts the lenght. Must have for funky riffs, ideal for jazz, blues. Virtually I'm influenced by Kirk Hammett, so it helps a lot, and gives a boost for those rapid ass kickin' solos.



Cons: Marshall pedals only problem: black marks on chrome knobs. On stage I cant see the settings. It's hard to set each effects to avoid being noisy. But it's a natural thing at using a compressor. By the way Boss's compressor is much more noisy.

ED-1 Compressor Quality: Metal. Bypass swithch. Awesome.

Marshall Summary: I like this product. I'm playing for many years, but it improves my solos, evens voulume, adds something that brings out everything from my gear. This is the best compressor pedal you can get this time, and its price is o.k. as well.
