Vivlex LEF-333 Compressor Pedal Mini Analog Compression Effect Pedal for Electric Guitar Bass with True Bypass

I nearly didn't buy as I spotted a few 1 star reviews. My own experience is different. I independently checked the EADG tuning on my bass, as well as along the neck. Spot on in all cases. Using as a mute pedal works well, as it is sturdy enough to stamp on. The screen is easy to read from a distance (even with my 62 year old eyes) and the green is bright enough for stage work when you are tuning in the midst of stage lighting. Will it last? Dunno. Is it a worthwhile addition to your pedalboard if it does - 100%

Really pleased with this little pedal, adds a good amount of boost to solos, eq is very good for cuts or gains in high end and its nice and sturdy too. Great price for such a good boost pedal and I've tried quite a few over the years!

I've been looking for a replacement for my Boss CS-3 as I've never been that happy with it.I haven't seen this brand before, but I've had good experiences with some other cheap far-eastern made pedals, so thought I'd give it a punt for the price.The good: it's not noisy! (even with the level maxed out); I was able to get a nice "medium" compression which is how I like my CS-3 set up; it has plenty of headroom - in a signal chain with my mojomojo and a reverb pedal, unity volume needed the level set really low; it draws minimal (30mA) current, so easy to power; it feels nice and solid and well made (as expected from these micro pedals).The not so good: the level knob was really stiffThe quirks: when the toggle switch is in "normal" it gives a mid-range bump - think tube screamer, but in treble mode it's transparent; the compression knob works the opposite way to what I expected - with the compression knob dialled all the way up, it compresses less and with the compression knob all the way down it compresses it the most - it's almost as if it's representing the height of the soundwave.Overall this is a great little pedal for a fraction of the cost of the CS-3 - this is going to be a keeper, and I'll be selling the CS-3.

Brilliant little tuner. Screen is bright and easy to see, turning from red to green when at desired pitch. I use various different tunings, and this is spot on for all of them. The automatic muting is a bonus too. Excellent tuner, get one!

There is a nasty Hum on the supposed 'True Bypass', making this useless as an inline tuner.As a non-inline tuner it's sturdy, but nothing else good about it. It's just a bog-standard cheap tuner.Very disappointed.

Vivlex Drum Loop Machine Beat Loop Rhythm Recording Pedal:I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality of this box. Now I just need to get my head around the very complicated instruction pamphlet. It's not very intuitive. However the separate control foot switch is good and so is the inclusion of drum fills and endings.

🎸 The pedal is small, with bypass switch, red indicator LED for when the pedal is active, boost or gain control, volume, bass and treble. The volume, bass and treble controls are tiny, so not great to fiddle about with whilst performing, but once you have them set where you need them, then they can be left alone. The first thing to remember is to only use a centre negative power supply. I have a few of these, so no problem.🎸 The pedal has a minimal footprint so that it does not take up much real estate. I worried about knocking it over when in use, but I needn’t have worried, as the patch cables help hold it in position anyway. The foot switch does not have a super strong action. There is a positive click, but you don’t have to give it a real stomp to engage boost like some pedals. The LED is nice and bright, so you can tell at a glance that the pedal is engaged before you play.🎸 There is plenty of headroom for boosting for a lead line without distortion and keeping the noise under control. This is particularly important if you are playing an acoustic instrument. You can however turn everything up with obvious results. I have been using this pedal now for over a month, playing in a ukulele group, and this lets me raise the gain, so I can be heard individually over the other players and then drop back into the mix when needed. The pedal has been reliable, which is very important to me.

This is a budget device, & is small enough to sit nicely on a pedal board. Overall the phase quality is only just sufficient, & I found very little difference in sound between the 2 switch settings.
