About this deal
The BLE400 evens out your tone to make it as robust as your playing by smoothing out harsh volume peaks, making it invaluable for bass players who often employ slapping and popping styles in their playing. The enhance feature emits a very noticeable "hiss" beginning at about a 10 o'clock setting that gets louder the more it is turned clockwise.

With both of those knobs at noon, it gives a good soft-knee type compression you might want on say, guitar. The dials on the Behringer are exactly the same as the Boss LMB-3 on which it is based (and which I am looking forward to putting through its paces, when it arrives later this week) with Threshold going "min to max" clockwise; and the similarly on the Keeley they go from -60 to +10 (i. If you're looking at this pedal, you're probably also looking at some of it's more expensive cousins at Boss, EHX, TCE, etc. Most compressors are also "sustainers" too, meaning they bring up quieter notes (and also the 'noise floor' of the instrument or other electronics). Every bass player knows that volume inconsistency is unavoidable even when you’re playing at the highest possible performance level.It's actually very similar to the Berhringer, which I guess was to be expected given that the Behringer is a LMB-3 clone. It's easy to dial in the target volume level using the threshold knob to trigger the compression and the level knob as a make-up gain. It's important to note that anytime you start boosting treble, or really boosting at all for that matter, that you might get some noise. And these are easily tweaked to take the pop out of bass slaps, take the attack off of keys a bit, or just even out tone.
The BASS LIMITER ENHANCER BLE100 gives your playing that same velvety finishing touch by smoothing out inconsistent volume peaks.Sound engineers and professional bass players have known for years that high quality limiting and enhancement makes bass tracks pop in the mix.
