HomeBrew Compressor Retro HBE CPR *(Vintage/Rare)* NR! (http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200190995817)
Vintage, timeless, HBE COMPRESSOR RETRO CPR…


This is the older *VINTAGE* Model of this pedal, and IMO the much BETTER SOUNDING ONE!
Not only does this model sport a different paint job and construction, but was hand-wired with only
the finest componentry available and produced with the meticulous T.L.C. by HomeBrew Electronics.
These sounds, evident in earlier releases, are not the only difference between models.
It also features an internal trim-pot that can control the attack time of the signal (added Flexibility)
and higher quality and more sensitive knobs that can be be fine tuned, and further by the attack trim.



THERE IS VELCRO ON THE BOTTOM
THERE ARE FEW VISIBLE SCUFFS, PAINT, ETC.
THAT SAID, ALL FEATURES ARE 100% WORKING!
Built like a tank, It'd take a stick of dynamite to destroy!

I have compared these to many other pedals on the market, including...
Analogman, Keeley, ROSS, Boss CS-2, Barber tone pump, demeter compulator,
Electro-Harmonix Black Finger, MXR, T-Rex Comp Nova, and countless others.

and while I won't lie to you, the other pedals all have their own
trademark characteristic sounds, features, good-points, etc.
This is the one that I continually reach for each and every time!
For balanced, transparent, and smooth sounding compression.

I personally leave this one on, and if I need a SUPER CRUSHED or Squashed sound,
I'll flip on Analogman's Juicer. Other than that, this pedal is very low-noise & versatile from 0 to 10.
if you need a smooth, balanced sound that doesn't sound noticeably plucky or unnatural then give this a try!

Features:
Input - Instrument input
Output - Output to amp
9V DC jack - For use with -(Negative) center, or 9V Battery
