Second from the left on the board, next to the tuner. Works great and does what a compressor should do. Good pedal.
Jeremy J.
Splendid little compressor.
Robert G.
It's always a gamble buying something as reasonably priced as this, but no worries here. This is a great pedal comparable to much more expensive ones. Well built and very good sound. Like it a lot!
james C.
Great pedal. Performs as well as anything by the more expensive makes. Great price and quick delivery.

I'm using the 'ultimate comp' to level out the output from my modular system before it goes into my mixer... Does an absolutely brilliant job!
Gary W.
Great pedal , does exactly what I’d hoped it would.
Viktor V.
great cheap compressor

A good little compressor, this one. Plenty of range in all the controls, but it does seem to overdrive just the tiniest bit when engaged. On the other hand it's remarkably quiet in use. I like it and it's staying on my board. For the price it's remarkable.
Sandra N.
great product great price great service fast delivery

Great pedal wide powerful sound for me now !

I'm a bass player and I'll make this short and sweet, this pedal does it's job very well. There is no hum or hiss when engaged and it doesn't color my sound. I was worried there would be some low-end loss, but between the toggle switch and the tone knob it's all there! This is my first Donner pedal and I'm really impressed.
I highly recommend this pedal!!

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.

Top quality products to other Chinese, I'm a fan too!
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!

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.
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!
Troy R.
Great experience. Fast shipping. Great product. Great prices.

Pedal sounds good. Solid construction. Easy to use. Great price. Tighten up your tone with out breaking the bank.

Excellent pedal one of my favorites

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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Alanqa
Very musical compressor. I had several disappointing ones including the horrible Marshall 'Ed the compressor' which had a really 'spitty' attack and the Dr Green Aspirin which managed to become microphonic at high volumes! This little Donner is much nicer than either of those for a fraction of the price. The compression isn't really noticeable until pretty far up the dial but when it gets there the sustain is rich and full without too much attack emphasis. The treble switch seems to be reversed on mine but I quickly found a sound I liked and leave it set.
Martin
This pedal blew me away for it costs, if your looking for some extra sustain playing clean or just looking to boost your existing pedals it's definitely adding to your existing set up. It's small and takes up very little room on my board. This one will be staying on for a while!!
Jaime
This is an update on my original review. I was gladly surprised that Donner's customer service really cares about their products and customers. They contacted me regarding the previous pedal I returned, which turned out to be a bad unit or at least not as good as the new one. I went ahead an tried a different unit, which they sent at no cost. The new pedal performs amazingly, specially considering the price point. I own the delay pedal too and these two in combination or independently make an awesome job. My guitar sound is much richer now and super nice. I totally recommend you guys getting this and if you have another 30 bucks, go for the delay too. These two are great!

great compression in a tiny affordable package
Perry Dror
Placed between my tuner and my volume pedal, it sounds awesome and works perfectly!! Used it last night in a live performance in my church, and loved it!!
Nathaniel F.
Popped this LITTLE guy in at the start of my signal chain and powered it with a pedal power a/c chain adaptor and instantly went to work! So first and foremost, it’s small, so it should fit on just about any pedal board. Second is it’s TRUE-bypass! Third is it’s super versatile! Dial it up for a little extra sustain or bring it down to level off those extra aggressive punches. Exactly what I needed to make my leads sound buttery smooth!
TEB
Happy with this pedal, solid quality and sound for for the price. I'll write about some of the features that I like:
1) It has a true bypass so that when it's clicked off, it doesn’t color/change the tone of your guitar.
2) I like how it boosts sustains - letting me ring out notes and chords at the end of songs
3) Works as boost pedal in a pinch and can increase
4) Compression works as expected; for me, it adds a richness and professionalism to my sound
5) Just enough options, not 4-6 different options on more expensive pedals. Treble/Normal switch gives enough flexibility to play with the sound
Been using the pedal for about a week now on a nightly basis and no signs of quality issues - seems to be holding up well.
James L.
Not bad, I use it with the purple brick to get a nice 70s funk sound with ease I can switch in and out of
Marvin W.
It meets my expectation!
Troy R.
Great experience. Fast shipping. Great product. Great prices.

Clean and quiet, very transparent. Treble boost switch actually *does a thing*, delivers enough sizzle to punch nicely through an (aggressive) passive low pass filter I use ( magenta box w single knob in photo ). Tone knob gives a useful range. Doesn’t much change your envelope as strongly as a sustainer style compressor does, so if that’s your goal it may not be your best choice, if you occasionally play finger style you’ll smile. Volume control works for me, I see unity gain around 12 o’clock depending on how much the big (compression) knob is turned.
Nathaniel F.
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.
Christian Robinson
This product was as advertised. It gives you a great sound. It is very compact yet has a big sound. I would recommend Donner pedals to anyone who want to have a versatile sound and dont want to spend allot or waste allot of pedal space.
Im still learning how to use compression on my pedal board but if you find the sweet spot it will gel all of your effects together well. You can also use this as a volume controller/amp to help control your tone. I use it last in the chain just before my volume pedal. Some people put the compressor in front. I might experiment and move it to the front one day.
Yannick B.
Super small, great sound, and a wonderful tone and compression level this is easily one of my favorite new pedals. In the picture you’ll notice there’s some blank spots but I’m pairing this pedal with a RAT, Ibanez tube screamer, a Uni Vibe, a Mojo Mojo, a Tumnus Wampler, SL Drive, Digital Delay, and finally a loop station. The sound compression from this pedal is gorgeous and it helps me get that clean sound I was looking for and couldn’t find with other pedals / pre-amp settings. This thing is super well built, built beautifully, and saves tons of space in highly compact real estate on my pedal board. I am now a customer for life of Donner
