Donner Compressor Pedal, Ultimate Comp 2 Modes Compression Effect Pedal Pure Analog for Electric Guitar and Bass True Bypass

Product Information

It also has a DC 9V power supply port conveniently located on the top, which is great for smaller pedals such as this. Having the power supply port on the side is quite annoying as it can interfere with your chaining. I definitely would appreciate this DC 9V power supply placement on my other pedals to maximize the space on my board. Although Kokko is not as versatile as the Ultimate Comp, which features 2 different modes, it is surprisingly versatile with its classic sound and entirely analogical circuit. This way, it gives a lot of control and flexibility to its users. The sound is pleasant and warm in clean and sounds decent with gain. Finally, since compression works by reducing the level of the signal, another useful feature is the “ Volume” (or “ Level“) knob, placed after the compression, which allows bringing the volume to its original, pre-compression level (or above it, working as a clean boost). Guitarists on a tight budget looking for a decent compressor pedal with great versatility and a more than satisfying sound quality can prefer the Donner Ultimate Comp pedal without hesitation. You can use the money you save with this pedal for other parts of your rig. The Donner Ultimate Comp is highly affordable and gives an excellent compression effect leveling out your dynamics in live performances. As a relatively new musical instrument and accessories brand that got on the market around 2012, Donner offers highly affordable musical products and new innovative designs. The brand specializes in mini pedals and processors. However, they also offer different musical instruments and accessories with high quality and low price tags.

The Level knob allows you to increase or decrease the volume of your guitar’s signal. This is one of the most common yet useful controls found in a guitar effect pedal, so a control knob for this on the Donner compressor pedal is a welcome addition. The other small knob is for the Tone, which allows you to go for a warmer or brighter tone depending on your preference.The Xotic SP Compressor mini pedal is an analog compressor based on the Ross circuit, which enhances the subtle notes and discreetly smooths the peaks. It is one of the higher-end compressor pedals with a natural, warm sound.

The Donner Ultimate Comp has two small knobs, Level and Tone, and a larger knob to set the Comp parameter. As I mentioned, there is also a toggle switch to select between Normal and Treble modes. First, we will discuss the knob parameters for those unfamiliar with the settings. However, as technology has developed, manufacturers have gained the ability to produce effective stompboxes at very low and affordable prices. One of these manufacturers is Donner – a company that has released many mini pedals for guitarists on a budget. Target Customer: This is a lot of pedal for the price. It has a good assortment of usable compression settings, though it can get noisy at higher compression ratios that require you to turn up the make-up gain. It would be a good fit for the bass player who wants a little compression in his setup that doesn’t break the bank. Target Customer: This is a very transparent compressor that adds just a touch of warmth to your signal, if you are looking for more character from your compressor, this one will not give you that. It offers good compression sounds, it’s very easy to set up and the blend control makes it very versatile. Target Customer: The TLC is a high-quality compressor aimed at the sonically demanding bass player. It offers a good amount of versatility, being able to accommodate all kinds of instruments, not just the bass guitar. The great build quality and clear, smooth, and transparent sounds make the TLC a great fit for any situation that warrants a compressor, and it is fairly priced for what it offers.Compressors, volume pedals, filters, wah, pitch shifters are the regular first step of a proper pedal setup. Overdrive and distortion pedals come the second, and the modulation effects such as chorus, phasers, flangers are the third party your guitar’s signal travel through. Finally comes the time-based effects like reverb and delays as the last step of the signal chain. The pedal features three different compressor modes: Spectra, TonePrint, and Vintage. The first one is the default compression mode. The second one is to use the presets from the application and the final one, the Vintage mode, lets you enjoy old-school compression tones. With this mode, you can have all of the squash and squeeze of the classical stompbox compression pedals. The mode performs especially outstanding with funk and country as well as Gilmour-like sustained tones. Of course, it must be added that the quality of the sound will heavily depend on the instrument and the amp used. But, with any setup, Donner Ultimate Comp delivers a pretty satisfying job. With the tone knob adjusted to a high degree and the 2-way switch on the treble mode, you get an exceptionally bright, funky sound, while with a low level and the normal mode, you get a darker, heavier tone. Both ends sound pretty great, in my opinion. We organized the lists below mostly by price range, but also grouped ones that have particularly useful options like the “Blend/Mix” and the “Level/Output” knob, or use a different technology (optical compressors).
