Take Full Control over Your Bass Tone and Dynamics

A multiband compressor pedal that's easy to dial in! The EBS MultiComp Blue Label pedal delivers studio-quality multiband compression for your bass pedalboard, and it's simple enough that you can make it sound great even in the middle of a gig. Adjust the Sensitivity control until the MultiComp Blue Label starts grabbing your signal (indicated by the LED), then adjust the Comp control for just the right amount of girth and dynamic control. Use the Gain control to make up the lost volume due to the compression, or bump it up further to add some harmonic grit to your tone. Complete with three selectable compression modes with distinct sonic characteristics and an internal trim pot to fine-tune how it responds to your playing style, the EBS MultiComp Blue Label multiband compressor pedal is highly recommended by Sweetwater to any tone-savvy bass player.

Why multiband compression is awesome

If you've ever played your bass through a compressor, then you know that it's the perfect way to fatten up your tone while giving you full control over your instrument's dynamic range. Multiband compression is even more versatile, as it separates your bass signal into lows and highs and compresses each separately. If you're slapping and popping, then those highs are compressed without making your low end sound as if it's pumping in and out. And when you hit a booming low note, the low band fattens and evens out your sound without choking out your highs. To give you maximum control over how the MultiComp Blue Label compressor reacts to your instrument and your playing style, an internal trim control allows you to fine-tune the balance in sensitivity between the high and low bands.

EBS MultiComp Blue Label Multiband Compressor Pedal Features:

  • Analog multiband compressor pedal for bass
  • Tubesim, Multiband, and Normal modes each offer a distinct sonic signature
  • Gain control can make up lost volume due to compression or add extra gain for harmonic bite
  • Active/Passive switch optimizes performance for different basses, or for use in your amp's effects loop
  • Perfect for controlling dynamics and fattening tone without choking out punch and nuance
  • Internal trim pot balances the sensitivity of the 2 compression bands
  • Powered by 9–18-volt DC power supply (sold separately)

There’s No Reason to Ever Turn It Off!

The MultiComp is a fantastic "always on" type of pedal. The effect is pretty subtle but it's a great little tone enhancer. (The tube simulator setting is excellent too!) For those interested, I've done a pedalboard walkthrough featuring this unit. It showcases the sound range of the MultiComp and how it stacks with other pedals. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/CUM1HCK4v1Q

Been using the original one for quite a few years, may upgrade

The original MultiComp was great, and I'm sure this one is even better, I have nothing but great things to say about this line of pedals and look forward to buying this one soon.

Are bass compressors necessary?

Ummmm - yeah
There really is no option. Especially if you play a 5 or more string bass guitar. No matter how good your amp set up is, compression just makes you sound cleaner, better and more articulate. Depending on the song and circumstance, I play with a lot of dynamics: plucking, slapping, picking and even using drumsticks like Tony Levin. This EBS pedal not only does the basic job of compression but also has cool "modes" - normal, MB and tubism. I use Normal for everyday use, MB (dual compression) for slapping and Tubeism for melody.
Is it necessary to buy a $ pedal, no - I guess you can always go with cheaper options, but EBS makes an exceptional product with this compression pedal. I find it invaluable for home recoding, gigs and even studio sessions.
