AZOR5 Band Bass Guitar EQ Pedal Equalizer Effects Pedal for Electric Bass True Bypass Aluminium-Alloy

The pedal compresses guitar signals at a budget price. Very much worth what you pay - and then some.What's here: a big lighted compressor knob, EQ and Level controls, and a tiny enclosure built like a tank. What I find particularly useful is putting this compressor after EQ with boost, and before or after overdrive with boost. Since this compressor *also* has boost, you can shape your sound relative to both input and output levels at three contiguous stages in the pedal chain. Incredibly useful for varying timbres.What's not here: attack and sustain controls. Attack can be a bit much with heavy picking, but you learn quickly how to match your playing style to what the compressor can do.Feature-wise (and probably sound-wise), the pedal is like a bunch of other compressor pedals with similar features. In my case, it plays well with two AZOR overdrive pedals and a JOYO graphic EQ.The pedal board that it's on also has two inexpensive Behringer pedals (FX600 multi-effects and DR600 reverb) at the end. The board was built to prove that it's possible to combine the best of inexpensive pedals into a very functional, complete unit - and it is!I have more expensive effects pedals and pedal boards that are - yes - better in most respects. But the AZOR compressor filled out what is a great complement of inexpensive guitar pedals that are versatile and actually sound good. Kudos to AZOR for this pedal and the two previously purchased overdrive pedals, each of which is amazingly good for the $.Compression on single-coil clean Tele and Strat sounds with the AZOR compressor sounds great, is just what is needed.So if you haven't invested in simple compressor and EQ - plus optimally, a noise reduction pedal such as the Behringer NR300 - then just do it. EQ, compression, and noise reduction are the foundation of any electric or acoustic/electric guitar sound. And at these prices, there's no excuse not to.

I'm not a huge pedal guy, I try to keep things simple and pure, usually just plug straight into the amp and go. Have owned a few pedals and a some multi-fx units in the past but I try to keep it to the bare minimum these days because I try to keep it as real as possible. But I will have to say that I love this Azor analog delay, it's very addictive and I LOVE IT. It has spawned so much more creativity out of me. There is just a hint of noise when clicked on but nothing bad at all, it's a true bypass so when off it's the same as not even having it. I wentthrough the fx loop on my tube practice amp and it sounds very clean and smooth, I can't complain about anything... sounds perfect to my ears. It's built very solid. I HIGHLY recommend this pedal. Best $24.50 I have ever spent on an fx pedal. I might even buy another for a backup.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is a good sounding spring reverb pedal for the price. It sounds best set to lower levels, in my opinion or can get a bit bright, but is clean with no unpleasant noise, well built and compact. I'd like to give it 5 stars, but it isn't my favorite pedal, maybe because of color and shape, and tiny dials, but it does the trick and is a good bargain.

I usually hate leaving reviews but I had to with the fuzz pedal, I've never gotten fuzz of such a high quality for the price. Absolutely recommend giving it a try

BIG sound for such a little pedal, and at a ridiculously low price! It sounds great by itself, but it also stacks really well with my (way more expensive) distortion and overdrive pedals. Very simple and intuitive to use. Nice, wide parameter of great useable tones! True bypass... so no noise at all. Getcha one!

The way that AZOR pedal reviews are lumped together, I must leave a review for both overdrive pedals here.AP308(Blue pedal) – 5 Stars - This may be the best OD I’ve played through at any price. I love it. The mids are not too pronounced and the pedal isn’t instant heavy rock when you step on it. You can go from slightly overdriven blues tones to a grittier blues/rock tone, and all points in between. I suppose everyone is looking for something slightly different from an OD pedal, but for my tastes, this is the sound. It is transparent but can add grit when needed.AP320(Golden OD) – 1 Star – This is where things come unraveled. I loved the AP308 so much that I ordered this hoping to get another quality OD but with a different flavor. Sadly, the AP320 I received has so much hiss and crackle that it is useless. I contacted AZOR and they were helpful, but I didn’t reorder another AP320. Since having the issue, I’ve seen video reviews and read comments of people having the same excessive noise problem. Then again, I’ve read some favorable reviews too. I’m not sure what to make of this except that it may be a roll of the dice to get a good one.I was wanting to buy other AZOR pedals, but now I’ll probably look for another brand. I’m still happy because, at the very least, I got a great, cheap OD pedal in the AP308. Thanks for reading and happy playing!

Quiet, effective for guitars, inexpensive. A well voiced eq can pull out desired frequencies, or minimize undesired frequencies. This eq is not noisy, and has a volume control that can increase volume like a boost. I use on my pedalboard for soloing, or anyplace I need a concise, detailed tone for guitar. A fine product for the low cost.
