Excellent 'classic' guitar compressor
1 of 1 found this helpful The Boss CS-2 was (is) and excellent compressor pedal for guitar. It's a version of the MXR Dynacomp with some internal component differences and uses Roland's custom OTA (BA662A) instead of a 3080 or LM3700 like other popular pedals. With that in mind, it behaves very much like a Dynacomp, but doesn't lose as much very low-end and is a little 'softer' and smoother sounding (presumably due to the BA662A). It's a very 'musical' compressor for guitar, not hi-fi or completely transparent, not nearly as technically capable as some more modern and sophisticated compressors (though most boutique compressors are merely Dynacomp clones themselves), but as far as just getting it right for guitar this does it as good as any compressor you're likely to find. There's a reason why these are so coveted... they really do sound and react beautifully. Not laden with features, controls, or technically perfect transparency, but a true classic that's been used by some of the best guitarists on some of the best recorded guitar of all time. Hard to beat.
