"The MultiComp is a very useful, transparent-sounding bass compressor pedal, particularly in the dual-band mode...I wouldn't hesitate to use it on stage in front of an amp, or as a front-end bass compressor when tracking to my DAW".
EBS Black Label effects pedals have a solid reputation among working musicians for their reliability and sound. These high quality effects are simply the natural choice for any serious player. The latest editions of the Black Label pedals use true bypass techniques and updated components for improved overall performance. Sound On Sound Magazine take a look at the best-selling EBS MultiComp.
"The first thing that struck me about this product was that the build quality: the construction is neat, the knobs and switches don't have that all-too-common feel of fragility, and the painted metal case is solid and weighty enough that it stays put when stomping, even when not Velcro'd down-something that's aided by the non-slip foam attached to the underside".
"The first mode, 'Normal', gives you simple, one-band compression; the second, 'MB' is the dual-band option, which sets this pedal apart from most, and the third, 'Tubesim' is essentially the normal mode but with added harmonics, to create a subtle valve-like effect".
"To get a more natural sound, you simply flick the switch to MB mode. Any higher-frequency picking, string-twanging, thumb-slapping or plectrum-clacking gets firmly nailed in place without affecting the warmer bass and low-mid frequencies. The result is a well-controlled, rich and natural sound."
"EBS may specialise in bass, but as there's ostensibly nothing bass-specific about a compressor, I thought I'd give the MultiComp a spin on electric guitar as well-and a very nice job it did, too. In fact, so nice was it, that if you're looking for a guitar compressor pedal I'd definitely recommend trying it out".
