Disappointing noisy pedal
Dub77 10.07.2020
I bought this pedal as a replacement for the boss CS3 compression sustain that I has been using, because although the CS3 was perfect, I figured I should get a compressor that is designed specifically for bass and as its also made by Boss, i thought that the LMB3 would be perfect... when I took it out of the box, I was happy, its built to the usual boss high standard, although, compared to almost all their other pedals, the colours and writing on this are not very defined and can be quite hard to see...This in itself is not a big deal.
Where the real disappointment kicked in is when i plugged it in.. there is a noisy enough hiss from the pedal when it is switched on. Im really disappointed with this as I use isolated power blocks on my board and its usually really quiet.. with the CS3 it was perfect.
The effect of the pedal is ok, but, I feel like it was a waste of money as I find myself going back to my Cs3 which id hoped to use only on my guitar rig instead of my bass rig.

Pros.. if you get past the hissing sound, it does balance the bass tones
Cons.. a hissing noisy reminder that the Boss Cs3 is a better pedal.

Boss quality and performs well.
Colin4320 20.01.2016
I bought the limiter/enhancer to serve 2 purposes. Firstly, to brighten up the sound of my bass guitar and secondly to keep the overall output levels under control.
If you start using this unit your band's sound engineer will be your new best friend. No matter how hard you now play, your output will be under control.
The setup is very easy and the manual is very clear.
I particularly like the enhancer as it just lifts the overall bass sound produced. I leave the unit on all the time in my pedal board to do its job. Thank you Boss.

Erfüllt seinen Zweck gut mit netten Zusatzfeatures
Benjamin438 23.02.2016
Da ich den kontrollierten Sound von "komprimierten Bassgitarren" sehr schätze, habe ich mich auf dem Markt nach Kompressor-Bodentretern umgesehen, weil ich Rackgeräte sehr unkomfortabel finde.

Der Markt ist aktuell unglaublich stark bewohnt und es gibt gefühlt einfach von jeder Firma mindestens ein Kompressor-Pedal.

Manche Modelle bieten noch Sättigung/Verzerrung, aber ich wollte ein Effektgerät, welches den natürlichen Klang meiner Warwick-Aktivbässe so authentisch wie möglich wiedergibt.

Es ist schwer den Klang zu beschreiben. Der Sound wird gezähmt, hat zu Beginn jeder Note aber einen kurzen Peak, der dafür sorgt dass sich die Bassgitarre mit jedem gespielten Ton in der Aufnahme oder dem Live-Bandgefüge durchsetzen kann. Dieser Peak lässt sich über die Regler einstellen. Hat man das Gefühl, dass durch die Kompression etwas Klarheit eingebüßt wird, kann man mit dem Enhance-Regler gegensteuern. Funktioniert auch hervorragend mit Passiv-Bässen. Ich finde dass der LMB-3 sehr unauffällig arbeiten kann, aber selbst dann noch seinen Zweck erfüllt (Kann effizient limitieren und komprimieren, also auch was für Fälle in denen man einen Übersteuerungsschutz für die Bassspur braucht, beim Recording oder live).

Sollte das Ding jemals kaputtgehen (mir ist bisher noch kein Boss-Bodentreter kaputtgegangen), würde ich es sofort neukaufen.

Es un pedal para bajo eléctrico de una estupenda calidad en cuanto a sonido y con características sencillas para su uso y fácil manejo. Muy recomendable. A pesar de que apenas lo acabo de utilizar voy descubriendo funciones interesantes. Sobretodo al momento de hacer slap con el bajo. Para la grabación del mismo, he conseguido una mejora, ya que antes me dificultaba mucho la grabación sin un pedal como este. Estoy muy contento con el producto. Y si has leído esta valoración, sepas que no tengo porque mentir. Simplemente menciono aquello productivo que he conseguido con este pedal, y aunque tuviese fallos también lo pondría, aspecto que de momento no se ha dado. Saludos. Att; Alexander Pazmiño.
