The Best Vintage Compressor Sustainer
In short, an excellent compressor sustainer, vintage sound, much better than CS-3, less noise, more solid sound, with Demeter Compulator and MXR Dyna Comp Script one of the best pedal of this type. It would certainly confirmed and David G ;-)) Recommend!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent 'classic' guitar compressor
The Boss CS-2 was (is) and excellent compressor pedal for guitar. It's a version of the MXR Dynacomp with some internal component differences and uses Roland's custom OTA (BA662A) instead of a 3080 or LM3700 like other popular pedals. With that in mind, it behaves very much like a Dynacomp, but doesn't lose as much very low-end and is a little 'softer' and smoother sounding (presumably due to the BA662A). It's a very 'musical' compressor for guitar, not hi-fi or completely transparent, not nearly as technically capable as some more modern and sophisticated compressors (though most boutique compressors are merely Dynacomp clones themselves), but as far as just getting it right for guitar this does it as good as any compressor you're likely to find. There's a reason why these are so coveted... they really do sound and react beautifully. Not laden with features, controls, or technically perfect transparency, but a true classic that's been used by some of the best guitarists on some of the best recorded guitar of all time. Hard to beat.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The missing ingredient.
This is the first compressor pedal I’ve ever used. I have to say, it’s taken my rig sounding good to great with a few knob adjustments. Awesome sounding compressor, I might just buy another one for my bass.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Still the best!
I bought a CS 2 when they were first released years ago, and just re-purchased a used one. For a stomp box this is one of the best compressors ever!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome pedal with true swedish metal sound
Very happy with this 1984 pedal. Exactly matches the Entombed / At The Gates tone! Just note that a normal adapter will not work with this pedal (it requires an ACA pedal which is no longer in production).Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
