    Thumbs up for spending a bit of time on the attack knob and showing what it does at different settings, most videos don't!

    Thanks for the demo. It really helped me out. I've had a CS-3 collecting dust for a long time. I'd forgotten about the sustain feature. After watching your video, I used my CS-3 with my Stratocaster. You are so right! Now I can get the sustain the Start was lacking. Also, I like your easy going presentation. Look forward to seeing more of your reviews. Best Regards, Rick

    The Attack knob goes from fast to slow, so more of the 'transient attack' the higher you turn it - Sustain is the pedal preamp volume, like Input on a Urei 1176, it increases compression. Tone lets you add back any brightness lost by the compression, Level lets you achieve unity gain or add a boost ;-) All knobs at 12 noon is a great setting to start with - if you then move the Attack to about 2 O'Clock and the sustain to 10 you are in good country

    Just remember kids when youre doing a review video for a guitar pedal to be sure that the vocal mic you use to narrate with is the loudest audio source. Dont waste time getting a good guitar signal so you can actually hear what the pedal may do. And be sure to tell everyone that the amp you use as a background prop is in fact mic'd and giving the impression that the pedal is hooked up when in reality youre running the guitar straight into a board.

    Andreas: yes the cs-3 works fine with bass. I had one about 10 years ago. It could get noisy at times. There are better, more transparent compressors. The cs-3 is pretty cheap these days tho. As a starter pedal its fine.

    the guy is probably an employee for a company that requires him to "look through the box" even though he doesn't want to. he catches a lot of crap but sometimes that's how it works...you know...management has to be thorough...

    I’m sorry, but this video is doing a disservice to this great pedal.. I remember having the CS-2 once, hooked up to CE-3 to my Ibanez AM-50..man..what a fat modern Jazz tone! I’m pretty sure the CS-3 is as great..so sad I gave it to a bass player I played with who I admired..oh well..things you do for your heroes. When I called him to get it back, there wasn’t anyone on the other end of the line. It has been 14 years and I haven’t seen that bass player since then and he never called me back..the bitch liked the pedal more than me apparently 🤔

I have a Marshall and the clean is good but it isn't fender. BTW, I would never buy a Fender with dirty circuits built in and expect Fender classic clean out of it.

    In HIGMEDIA's defense, I completely agree. Maybe he does not have a video on his channel because, much like you, he does not know how to make videos. Just like I don't know how to make demo videos. Just like you don't know how to make demo videos :)

    A sustain review using only clean sounds? Isn't sustain more of a thing for Distorted guitar tones?
    I have never heard a playing using clean tones that wanted notes to go on longer. Yet sustain and indeed compression are quite useful and more desirable with more driven tones. This is an odd review.
