A solidly built pedal, though the footswitch is a bit clunky compared to other makes.Compression is good, with little added noise, and it gives a nice warmth and polish to my sound.The name and graphic is contentious (for some) but I like it 😊A good pedal for the money but if I was buying again I'd probably go for the Keeley.

Great Addition to Any Setup!

Not a big pedal guy so wasn't really sure what to expect from this. I LOVE IT! This cleans up the sound and gives a great crisp sound to whatever I play, makes an improvement I didn't know I was missing.

I've tried a few

As a bass player, I've tried a few compression pedals. Some better than others...as it were, I generally gravitated towards optical compressors. Although most did their job, there was always something (call it mojo or whatever), missing. This pedal, has "it". It can find a home at the end of your chain, used more as a limiter, or in front as a compressor. So, as versatile as any compressor can be. I'd highly recommend this to any bassist as an "always-on" compressor.

Juicy compression!

This is the best affordable option for compression out there! The tone that this thing can produce is excellent. It really offers a great leveling of tone. The compression is anywhere from very intense to smooth as butter. I would recommend this compressor to anyone. The "pad" toggle is really neat, too, because it offers a whole other side to compression that is great for multiple styles.

Love this made in the US pedal

Great features at a bargain price and made in the U.S.A. I love the features and ease of use and its in a compact size. I bought this for my strat but it works great on my bass as well. If you want to tighten up your tone this is a must have

Nice features and well made

I did quite a bit of research before I decided on this pedal. I'm very familiar with Electro-Harmonix pedals and had no doubts about the build quality. One thing that sold me was the fact that it had a blend knob, which enables me to really fine tune the amount of compression. The price is not outrageous either! Recommended

Review of Electro Harmonix Tone Corset Pedal

Very versatile Compressor. Tightens things up. Lots of boost available. Cleaner signal with plenty of blend and volume options.

Superb quality compressor pedal

My set up wouldn't sustain notes/chords very long. The sound would fade away very quickly, making solos and long bends sound terrible. I was told compressor pedals help augment the sustain so that notes ring longer and more fully. So I decided to buy the Tone Corset, not fully understanding exactly what it did or how it worked. Boy am I glad I did. My notes and chords now ring as long as I need them to, no more premature fading and limp sounding solos. Compressor pedals typically dont alter the tone, and arent specifically meant to do so. The tone corset certainly does, it can clean up and bolster both clean and distortion tones. I love the thing, its one of the few pedals in my loop I almost always have on. It wont drastically change your tone unless you ... MoreMy set up wouldn't sustain notes/chords very long.

awesome for the price

There are some nicer compressors on the market, but none in this price range.i think the Tone Corset could go up against the Wampler Ego and Walrus Audio Deep 6 and easily hold its own.The boutique pedals have a bit of and edge on the Tone Corset, but not twice the cost nicer for my purposes.
