The attack time has a very usable range and can be set from 20ms to 800ms, while the release time ranges from 50ms to 1.1 secs. Many pedal-format compressors have too few controls to let you dial in the settings you want, but the M87 Bass compressor gives you access to 5 control functions to shape your sound as you please, Attack, Release, compression Ratio (selectable between 4:1,8:1,12:1 and 20:1), plus separate Input and Output level controls. My Review: MXR has built a studio-quality analog FET compressor into a standard sized bass pedal that sounds very transparent and doesn’t color your tone.
