Manufacturer's Description for Maxon CP101 Compressor Pedal

The CP101 provides clean, smooth compression with low-noise. Unlike other compressors, the CP101 doesn't alter an instrument's attack characteristics, providing a more natural response. The CP101 can be used to increase an instrument's sustain or to limit signal peaks for a smooth, even output. The CP101 works perfectly with bass, electric, or semi-acoustic guitar.
