Unlike other compressors, the Maxon CP101 doesn't alter an instrument's attack characteristics, providing a more natural response. It can be used to increase sustain or to limit signal peaks for a smooth, even output.

Maxon CP101 Compressor Features:

  • Works perfectly with bass guitar, electric guitar, or acoustic/electrics
  • Provides clean compression and minimal noise

Order your CP101 today and enjoy the silence.

I bought this guitar at a boutique and vintage guitar dealer; I couldn't figure out why the guy carried maxon with his 500-dollar tube compressors and even pro-modded Dyna-comps. I needed a good compressor because my Fender tube amp was way too dynamic, and certain high notes tended to "pop" out of the amp when I didn't want them to, not to mention that my guitar has no sustain through the amp's clean channel. I told the salesman about my problem, and said I was looking for a dyna-comp, or at least something in that price range. He showed me this pedal, and claimed that it was actually closer to the older Dyna-comps, which had more sustain. I plugged it into my Fender, and I even used my crappy stratocaster to really see how much sustain this pedal has. I was astounded at what I heard. It truly sounded like a vintage MXR. So my conclusion for this pedal is that, it works great, is easy to use (although a couple more knobs would be nice); I figure if you can't quite afford a ross or keely compressor, and want that old Dyna-comp sound that everyone's raving about, this pedal can definately to the job for you.

I've owned this pedal for about a month now. I own 3 compression pedals (boss, digitech main squeeze and this one) and the maxon is my favorite. its effects are very subtle yet get the job done. This pedal does not add any noise while in use and makes chords and appregios sound clear. It makes no change in the tone of the guitar (the boss and digitech may change it a little bit, depending on tone setting), it just makes the clean sound better. The effect is almost unnoticeable w/ heavy distortion. if you are looking for a compressor to give a very heavy sustain and compression effect this pedal is not for you. however if you are just looking to fine tune your tone and make things sound better this pedal is hard to beat.

over the years i have used a dyna-comp. great pedal. also tried the boss, liked it less. tried the maxon, like it a lot. have used it on nearly 100 gigs since i bought it, and i like it more now than ever. simple and versatile. bullet proof construction, batteries last a long time. try one out, see if it works for you.
