(Pro series) CS-5 Compressor Sustainer
Squeeze every last drop of sustain from your guitar with the TubeLine CS-5 Compressor Sustainer. This pedal is a master class in dynamic control, using a unique tube-driven circuit to smooth out your playing and keep those notes singing long after you've struck the strings. The CS-5 is no one-trick pony - it's a versatile tone-shaping tool that can do everything from gentle compression to all-out sustain. Crank the "Sustain" knob and watch as your guitar blooms into a lush, singing tone, the kind that makes your bandmates turn and ask, "What is that sound?" But don't think this is just for lead players - the CS-5 also excels at thickening up rhythm parts, giving your chords a rich, piano-like sustain. What sets the CS-5 apart is its touch-sensitive response. Rather than squashing your attack, it reacts dynamically to your picking, allowing you to dig in for a fat, harmonically-rich tone or ease up for a more delicate, airy sound. It's a pedal that rewards expressive playing, helping you coax every last nuance from your instrument. Legendary guitarist Eric Johnson was an early adopter of the CS-5, using it to achieve his signature singing lead tones. But don't pigeonhole this pedal - its versatility means it can find a home on any guitarist's pedalboard, from blues to metal and everything in between. If you're seeking a compressor that adds richness and sustain without dulling your attack, the TubeLine CS-5 is a must-try.
