I bought this pedal to use with my acoustic guitar into EHX Mel9 and C9 pedals. The compression results in smoother tracking with these pedals.

This pedal is a must have for all types of music. A compressor really improves the tonal quality of your guitars. Once you get one, you'll wonder why you waited so long. This pedal is easy to dial in, inexpensive and a lot of bang for the buck. Get one, it truly is a game changer.

It will sustain a note Forever till the end of time. That's what I wanted.

You see all these pedals by Boutique builders. As I myself have bought many of them. If your talking overdrive/distortion types, I get it. So personal on what your looking for. But, when your talking comps, delays, even most choruses, these donner pedals are unbeatable for less than 40 bucks. I own B**S, Wam***r, and other expensive ones. I have A/B ed them trying to find flaws. In a live situation they sound just as good, and quiet. I have cut my pedal board in half with these pedals. And speaking of pedal boards, check their prices on those. I bought two, a small one for quick gigs with all Donners and a R*t. And a big one with many Donners for my main board. Now I got more room for more donner mini pedals.

A great yet simple compressor.

Fairly new to pedals although I have played guitar for over 40 years. Unit seems well made. Tweaking it to find my sweet spot. All in all, a nice pedal for the money.

This pedal works amazing. You can never go wrong with a Donner pedal. You will always get way more pedal than what you pay for!
Alan W.
These Donner mini pedals are a great bang for the book. Built well, and work nicely.

I ordered a second peddle and have yet to receive it. I plan on purchasing more items when I finally receive it
Ivan H.
Great compressor for a great price. It's built very sturdy with quality pots and switches. The treble setting works really well with humbuckers.
Andy C.
Works fine! Gives me a little extra headroom for cleans on my amp and helps my guitar stand out In front when needed!

Great pedal and great price , so much so they sent it to me twice.. purchase this and a noise gate and only received the compressor and they were great. Sent pics because they asked for them. Should have been both together.. so they said they would send a replacement. Took a week for them to send it and only to recieve another compressor pedal instead of what I was missing which is the noise gate.. confirmed with them three times and sent pics of what pedal I had and what one was missing from shipment.. I give up and it's not worth another month of back and forth to square this out.. I'm out.. they make quality pedals for cheap. Just need to do some better order fulfillment and attention to detail. Nobody is at there best right now so I'm not blaming them. I just am over it

I had a problem with the order, Donner resolved the issue. It took some time but in the end things were made right.
Dan C.
Good product, good price. Easy to use and perform as intended. One little complaint as the for one promo started when I just received the compressor.
David F.
It's a surprisingly good pedal for the price ,I will purchase more in the near future!
Kenneth A.
The Donner Compressor Pedal is a great pedal at an extremely low cost. I would put this pedal up against any of the top compression pedals on the market.
Antonio M.
It's petit, easy to use, just love it. Does the job it was designed for period! I have it after my Donner Noise Killer on my pedal board. Tiny real estate, total control.
Dan H.
Since I got it, I don't think I've stopped using it. It's such a well built pedal I don't understand how it's so cheap. Buy it.

I cannot tell you how much this improves the sound of my setup. It's such a simple yet effective tool with the capability of taking a grating dry signal and single handedly making it sound smooth pleasant. Compression really does shape the sound into something more full to the ear and I cannot recommend this compressor enough to anyone that doesn't have one yet. If you don't have one I can pretty much guarantee that compression will improve your setup and this one here is a pretty low risk high reward way to find out for yourself. Solid product!
Syd V.
Great value, great product!
Andrew
Simple compression pedal. For the price you can't beat it. Super fast shipping. Definitely recommend if you're looking for one without all the bells and whistles!
Gianni D.
I'm trying to improve my guitar tone. I have a modeling amp but I still think pedals are helpful. After watching a video with Michael Angelo Batio and talking to my friends I thought a compressor could really help. I think it does. I'm no expert or aficionado, but to me it sounds a lot cleaner when I use the compressor pedal. Moreover I really like these Donner mini pedals. I find them a convenient size and they feel like quality to me.
Charles T.
Totally enhanced my guitar’s sound immediately that now I play with it on all the time.
I combine it with my Tubescreamer pedal through my Fender Blues Jr. Works really well!
Peter F.
Not very good. It will work fine as a little hum eliminator, but you'll end up killing your signal trying to kill the extra noise from any distortion/overdrive. Moral of this story: it's fine for no gain rigs.
Mike B.
It’s a great little piece of equipment. Functions exactly as advertised and is a quality item
Jaime P.
Excellent pedal one of my favorites
Michael V.
Pedal sounds good. Solid construction. Easy to use. Great price. Tighten up your tone with out breaking the bank.

After being VERY pleased with my DTC-100S, Tele style Donner, I ordered a Black DST-102B Strat style. Both were purchased through Amazon. It was reviewed as a great buy on YouTube by several people so I thought I'd give it a try to add to my collection. I couldn't buy just the guitar, I had to buy the kit with the small amplifier and other accessories. Oh well, you can't have too many picks.
The DTC Tele came packaged really well by Amazon. It was almost in tune and the action and intonation was very close. The DST Strat showed up in the guitar box only with all the stuff packed inside the box, rattling around and partially open. Thank UPS it wasn't damaged. Surprise!
When I opened up the box to check for damage, it was OK but a SUNBURST model, not the BLACK I ordered. The neck is thicker, not wider, but thicker than the Tele model it make it a little harder to play. The action and intonation is way off but I can handle setting that. The whammy bar missed getting chromed all the way. I am a little worried about this one as QC wasn't up to par on that day as they couldn't even make sure the nameplate was on correctly. See the picture. I'm a little less in love with Donner than I initially was.
Jordan L.
I can’t use it because I don’t have a power supply
Gary E.
Pedal was defective, I asked for a swap, they told me to send a video...when you step on the switch for true bypass there`s no sound going through. so as far as tech support or 100 % product satisfaction, forget it. you bought you got it. as is. good luck, Im sure they are not all bad. Just the one I recieved.
Troy R.
Great experience. Fast shipping. Great product. Great prices.
Brian C.
This compressor does a good job of lowering the loudest parts of my playing, and equalizes my picking and strumming. The more it is engaged, the more background noise it adds to a gain pedal so you probably want to use a noise gate with your high gain pedals. The treble mode increases this effect. When no high gain pedals are on I haven't noticed this. As always, the construction is fantastic.
Marvin W.
It meets my expectation!
robert g.
I was amazed how nice this drum was. Intoned well, very solid construction, and sounds wonderful.
Ray B.
I love this unit. It does it's job. I have a more bunky expensive one and this small unit is close to it. I now travel and do open concert with these effect pedals. They don't disappoint.
michael c.
This the forth pedal I've purchased from Donner. This compressor is so easy to use. just set it forget about it. When it clicks in it is the perfect touch to add punch and clarity.
Chris D.
I absolutely love Donner pedals!! They pack a lot into a little box! Such great tones and adjustability allows you to dial you unique tone! The Compression pedal does exactly what is supposed to do and is a clean straight through when not in use!
Willie
Great little comp. Pretty amazing how small it is. If you've got fat fingers, ham hands, or you like to wear combat/hiking boots on stage while playing death metal and stomping on your pedals without aim, you're not going to like the two small knobs, the skinny stick switch, or the overall size or form factor. But for everyone else, this is a great little no-nonsense comp that does what it needs to do without taking up a lot of space. I love it.
David G.
I was originally looking at much more expensive options but this little pedal does an excellent job at providing light to medium compression, without adding any coloration or noise. I'm very happy with its ability as a clean boost and for improving leads, particularly legato and tapping.
Ronaldo T.
Top quality products to other Chinese, I'm a fan too!
Rui D.
Good experience. Item arrived as described. It sounds good (as in the demos). No (bad) surprises. Recommended.
Edward P.
The pedal seems well constructed and sturdy. I like the compact size. I detect very little compression, more of a boost and tone. I wish the compression were more effective. Perhaps at this price point, that's not realistic.
J***o
Great pedal. I'm very satisfied. Thank you.
carlo
donner compressor
can I use this on bass guitar?
Tal
Decent for the price
Works fine, a budget pedal. There is no real difference between the normal and the trebble modes.
JED
spanky-twang tone
just got mine a months ago. This comp. is good value for the money, My observation with the extra switch is it goes the other way around, I got a more treble tone on the normal switch and a warmer tone on the treble side of the switch! The good thing is i still got a spanky-twang tone even when it reaches the knobs maximum comp level. I still rate this a 5 star because it's still provide the tone that i need. Thank you
Ricky
Excellent sound
This small and simple compressor is very useful. You get more attack and sustain and pretty transparent... very similar to a tube sound in my opinion. One of the effect that I can keep always on
Carles
Cool compressor
Very usable and easy to use. Correct and a good price. Same capabilities as other more expensive compressors.
Marty Lamar
Superb!
I have had compressor pedals that cost over $100 more than the Donner. The Donner pedal is the best I’ve tried. Virtually noise free. This one stays on my board. Great job Donner!
Laércio Jr
Great compression!
Tone control is a plus tool
Jan Balk
Excellent compressor
This very small pedal is a pure marvel. Easy to setup. Easy to use. To set the compression level, you just have one knob to turn. And the fact that you can set the tone independantly is really useful to tailor your sound just as you wish. And the Normal/Trebble toggle is there to allow you to roll off a little of the attack harshness. You even have a real good booster effect when push up the volume! This pedal sounds incredible. Very versatile. Efficient. Transparent. Highly recommended for the novice and the pro.
The Ultimate Compressor is a true analog pedal which captures warm, studio like tones.
