Ease of Use : 10
Great little Compressor from Moen in their latest series. Very easy to "comp" a good sound from it and simply tweak to taste and as the music dictates. Comes with a little manual and warranty card.

Sound Quality : 9
Moen seems to have a handle on these Compressor builds and this is great little box. I also have the larger and original Moen Uni-Comp and pretty much swear by that unit. I use it mainly for home recording now as it has a pretty large footprint and I have purchased this new Ulite series Comp to squeeze onto my other pedalboard. Like the Uni-Comp, there is no hiss in the background, single lead lines are punchy, power chords explosive and the overall tone raised up. Some compressors I have had sound "squashy" and maybe ok for recording, but not for live so much. The Moen offers "your tone" that is not processed sounding at all.

Reliability : 9
These seem built really well, and you can tell by closer inspection. It also comes with a one year warranty from failure and I have no doubt it will go the distance. The US seller (at least one) is very good and I have purchased all my Moen through him and feel totally comfortable with these purchases.

I think everyone should have a b/u or simply play through it if something should fail.

Customer Support : 9
Same as above, I certainly feel I can get my concerns answered and maybe quicker than some name brands (that I have tried for a response and failed.) Always helpful and ready to step up.

Overall Rating : 10
I don't give everything a 10, but the term "fantastic value" seems to fit this new Moen series and this compressor. I really appreciate the punch it provides, while taking up so little space on the board.
Really happy I found the Uni-Comp originally (and took a chance) and the Ulite series does not disappoint either. I play heavy rock and blues with some country-fried licks mixed in and this compressor will complement all.
I have since purchased the whole series( 3 units so far: Comp, Vibe and Octave Fuzz) and look forward to the new entries.
