The Bass Preacher is a great entry point into bass compression. It's super easy to dial in a fat, sustained tone that's perfect for funk, reggae, or anything needing a little extra oomph. It's a solid, budget-friendly option for players who want a simple, effective compressor without getting bogged down in complex settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
It does impart a subtle warmth and thickness, particularly at higher sustain settings – it's not entirely transparent but adds a pleasing character.
It's a decent starting point, but the attack options are fairly broad, so it might not suit players needing extremely precise compression shaping.
No, it requires a coaxial 9V DC power supply with negative polarity – a standard Boss power supply won't work.
