BC1 is not like the standard bass compressor pedal. Not by a longshot!

Most bass players use the compressor as an effect. Placed between the instrument and the amplifier. Caveman likes the idea of using a compressor as an always-on Master Compressor; at the end of the signal chain. A compressor that tames and gently shapes the overall dynamics, giving you a pristine bass tone that makes you sound better, sit better in the mix and simply makes playing more fun!

BC1 is a 100% analog Master Compressor that makes the output from your strings more even and brings out all of the small nuances in your playing. In fact, think of it as a high-end rack compressor that you would use in the studio; but disguised as a pedal built for touring!
