Behringer DC9 Dynamic Compressor

Very easy to use. Has 2 Knobs for Output Gain and Compression and a Footswitch.

Very littel sound coloration very bright, Fairly mild compression very good for guitar. If anything it could use a littel more low end. Enough gain and compression to get the job done. Doesnt pump like a boss pedal does. It will amplify Hum from single coil pickups like crazy and suggest using it with a noise gate if used with various drives and or distortions.

The Pedal isnt made bad but I will give you a full synopsis of my inspection. It may sound negative but it actually contains suggestions for the Mfg, and that guitarist arent dopes when it comes to construction.
The footswitch looks like a standard pushbutton but its actually a fake. Its just a plunger that activates a True bypass PC mount switch It activates silently though.

The solder job on mine was very sloppy and had to clean it up before I attempted to apply power.

The box is die cast alluminum, but it had a stripped out screw when removing the back plate.

The pots are PC mount which I dislike but could be modded for ones that case mount same as the switch.

Knobs are large enough to tweak with a foot if nessasary they look like MXR knobs but arent. They go through the casing to get rid of wobbly pot shafts which is a good thing.

Unit is very light and could use some ballast to keep them from moving easily.

The Led is overly bright like alot of their pedals & will blind you so you cant see where your knob settings are looking down at it

N/A

I have several of their plastic pedals which I havent had any problems with and suspect this one will do good as well.

The circuitry is very simple and could be easily repaired or modded. This has a very different sound in comparison to my other compressors like a Marshall, Boss and very old Rolland so it will stay on my pedal board when I want a more Jangley sounding compression.

All in all its got a Great price, good sound, And built well enough to be kicked around a bit.
