Behringer CS400 Compressor Sustainer Effects Pedal

The Behringer CS400 is a dynamics effects pedal designed to control signal levels and enhance sustain for electric guitar and instrument setups. It processes incoming audio to reduce dynamic peaks while raising softer signals, helping players maintain consistent volume and articulation during performances and recording sessions.

The pedal features adjustable compression parameters including Level, Tone, Attack, and Sustain controls. These controls allow musicians to shape the response of the compressor, tailoring how quickly the effect reacts and how strongly it sustains notes. This design enables precise control over the instrument’s dynamic behavior without significantly altering the original tone.

Built for use in pedalboard signal chains, the CS400 integrates easily with other effects devices and amplifiers. The unit operates using a 9 V battery or compatible external DC power supply and includes an electronic switching circuit that preserves signal integrity when the effect is bypassed.
