    Anyone know where you can get pedals repaired? I have a CS2 compressor which has had it. Its a pretty old pedal I got off ebay.

    I have a CS3 Compressor.....pure dirt......how can Boss sell something as bad as this.....i assumed that because it's Boss, it should be good.

    Wrong......pants......

    They sound so fake when you pick individual notes.....strumming chords is a bit better though.

    Your best bet is to put your foot on the bin pedal and drop it in there.
    Sometimes it's hard to let go, but life goes on.

    Boss compressors are rubbish. Try the Marshall one or the Super Comp by MXR.....or anything else because Boss's efforts are the worst.

    Who was the Bozo that sold a broken yoke anyway......?

    I wouldn't be so quick to throw it out.

    Whats wrong with it? Has it just stopped working all of a sudden or was it gradual. What happened?

    and last of all, did you check the battery?? (if you use one) :D

    There was a guy in Dublin who used to do pedal mods/repairs, working under the name 'Bredhead'.

    His name always comes up when someone mentions pedal repairs, but I couldnt tell you if he's still interested in doing stuff. Google 'bredhead dublin' and you'll find him. Alternatively, the guys at gigsmartireland should have contact details.

    Ok...i was a bit funny.......BUT my message was that the Boss Compressor is one of the worst out there.......Almost any other decent brand that makes compressors are far better.

    It's hardly worth fixing.......second hand Marshall Ed the Compressor for €40

    Sorry for humour......

    darren, I suggest you reread the charter of this forum. If the Caparison is for sale, this is not the place to ask and it appears that you are trying to sell the OP a Marshall Compressor pedal...

    Well the pedal is from the 80s and David Gilmour used one so I thought it might be decent. And it was! It didnt last for long though. Now it just kilss the guitar signal going through it. Ill ebay it.
