The Bass Squeeze is an awesome compressor in a stompbox package, very easy to use, 4 knobs, Level, X-over, Lo Band, High Band.

I run this jewel second in my FX chain just after the Bass Synth Wah (another really cool pedal) into a GNX 3 to a Crown K2 then to 2 SWR Golith III cabs, It is not noisy at all and gives my bass sustain for days. I love the crossover set at about 10 o'clock and turn up the Lo band to about 11 o'clock and the High band to about 9 o'clock then set the level to unity when bypass and effect on match in level. This setting gives me a very heavy bottom end with just enough highs to sit in the mix with very good definition. It is a joint venture with dbx compression so very top notch compressor in my opinion, smooth and killer tone focused, it can be very tranparent or totally shape your sound, I use it to shape my tone so I don't get lost in the mix, and it makes my bass very touch sensitive.

I have had this box for about 2 months and no problems at all, I turn it on and leave it on all the time I play, could not play with out it now. I gig with it without a backup and no problems, I used a DOD Milkbox before this, but the dual band is sooo much better. I LOVE THIS STOMPBOX !!!!!

Always have been very helpful with other units I have used, 2101, 2112, 2120, Studio Quad, TSR 24, ect... always helped when I needed help getting setup or foot control stuff like that, never needed repair on any of my Digitech stuff so I can't say anything about that.
Overall Rating

I play very heavy hard core nu-old school metal and have found that I can get any sound I am after with the rig I am using now, I am very impressed with the sound I get and people ask how do you get such a great sound. I'm really impressed with this pedal and all my other Digitech stuff, I record with it, play guitar for 24 years and bass for 4 years now, and won't play without this stuff.
