congratulations on your purchase of the Markbass coMPressore!
coMPressore (we chose an Italian name to express how proud we are to manufacture all our products in Italy) is a high-quality tube compressor that features all the individual
controls normally found on professional studio outboard compressors: gain, threshold, ratio, attack, release and volume. not only designed for bass, this pedal can also be used
with guitars or any acoustic or electric instruments, in either live or studio applications, thanks to its state-of-the-art component quality.
the pedal’s featured ecc81 tube compresses your signal, evening out the sharp peaks of your playing in a natural, transparent way. At the same time, it also adds warmth and
harmonics to your sound.
Like all our pedals, this unit features “true bypass”: that means that when the compressor is ‘off’, your signal goes directly from the input jack to the output jack without any degra-
dation of audio quality.
this manual will help you get the most out of your coMPressore pedal. If you have any questions after reading it, please feel free to contact our online customer service depart-
ment at info@markbass.it. thank you again, and enjoy your coMPressore!
3. IntroductIon
COMPRESSORE is no mere stomp box… it’s a state-of-the-art compression tool. Not only is it very easy and practical to use, but it may also be the finest tube compressor pedal ever
created!
While some compressor pedals offer individual control of nearly all compression parameters, the controls on most comp boxes adjust two simultaneously, and some only have a single
“compression” knob. COMPRESSORE features all the individual controls you would normally find on professional studio outboard compressors. This pedal gives you full control!
