Marshall ED-1 “Edward” Compressor Pedal
October 19, 2008 by Chaz · Leave a Comment
Producing a smooth, even sustain that faintly recalls the tone of a certain Dutch-born shredder, the “Edward” is a valuable tool for tone-conscious players who need to vary the sustain and attack of their guitar’s sound. The ED-1 is capable of creating everything from smooth legato leads to funky clean chords to choppy chicken pickin’.
Kudos for the nifty emphasis control, which allows the compression effect to be assigned to particular frequencies. Although its effect is imperceptible through the first half of its sweep, the control can be used to give bass notes a much-needed squash while leaving the treble register virtually unaffected.
The End Line
For the money, the Marshall ED-1 Edward Compressor Pedal is one of the superior sustainer’s out there. Very easy to use, with somewhat noticeable but subtle tonal differences, the Marshall ED-1 has great features and gets the job done.
The Marshall ED-1 Edward Compressor can be had at a very reasonable price at MusiciansFriend.com.
