I catch myself being a snob with brand names, and I left Maxon off of my radar (for no good reason). I'd heard enough good things about this pedal, I had to try it. I was genuinely surprised by this pedal. I'm now trying to pick between this and two other compressors (both cost $100 more than the CP101) that allow much more control. I'd put this in between a Ross/Dynacomp style compressor and one of the more "transparent" compressors in terms of coloration. It has a very pleasing sound. The lack of control is nice in its way, set it and forget it. If it had a control that let me choose the amount of dry signal combined with the compressed signal I'm almost certain this would be my favorite compressor. I want to end up with one compressor, so I'll use two for a while and let time help with my decision. Highly recommended.Read full review
I use this pedal primarily with clean sounds (surf music), or medium or light distortion (classic rock and blues). It's quiet and very effective, transparent, giving me the extra sustain I'm seeking. Works fantastic, I love it.

I bought it at a reasonable price. It works really well to make sounds smooth and controlled. I also feel like the vender is trustworthy. I would order more from them.

I've been through several compressors and never liked the fact that they took some of the dynamics away and affected tone. I use this at the minimal sustain setting and have backed off the input sensitivity a bit. It changes the tone so slightly that you really can't hear the difference. But, what you do hear is an evening out of levels which makes the overall sound much better to the ear. Pinch harmonics come easily and it helps take the rough edge off of overdrives, without taking too much away.
It's simple, once you have it, you need it! Everytime I bypass the pedal, the sound is missing. I'm not a fan of compression in a guitar chain setup but this one is exactly what it needs to keep a good sustain on distortion and on clean as well. You can use it for more than only guitar. Use it on bass or any instruments that need that natural sustain effect. It's solid, it's simple and I'm happy I bought it!
