A multiband compressor pedal that's easy to dial in! The EBS MultiComp Blue Label pedal delivers studio-quality multiband compression for your bass pedalboard, and it's simple enough that you can make it sound great even in the middle of a gig. Adjust the Sensitivity control until the MultiComp Blue Label starts grabbing your signal (indicated by the LED), then adjust the Comp control for just the right amount of girth and dynamic control. Use the Gain control to make up the lost volume due to the compression, or bump it up further to add some harmonic grit to your tone. Complete with three selectable compression modes with distinct sonic characteristics and an internal trim pot to fine-tune how it responds to your playing style, the EBS MultiComp Blue Label multiband compressor pedal is highly recommended by Sweetwater to any tone-savvy bass player.





Why multiband compression is awesome





If you've ever played your bass through a compressor, then you know that it's the perfect way to fatten up your tone while giving you full control over your instrument's dynamic range. Multiband compression is even more versatile, as it separates your bass signal into lows and highs and compresses each separately. If you're slapping and popping, then those highs are compressed without making your low end sound as if it's pumping in and out. And when you hit a booming low note, the low band fattens and evens out your sound without choking out your highs. To give you maximum control over how the MultiComp Blue Label compressor reacts to your instrument and your playing style, an internal trim control allows you to fine-tune the balance in sensitivity between the high and low bands.
