First introduced in 1981, the CS-2 compression regulator was an evolution of the circuit found in the CS-1 and used a VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) instead of the optocouplers found in the CS-1. The implementation of the VCA chip sped up the circuit’s signal processing, which in turn made the attack faster than the CS-1. Sounding like a combination of a transistor compressor, much like the MXR Dyna Comp, and an optical compressor, the CS-2 gives a nice, smooth sustain without pushing your tone out. Following the success of the CS-3, which was introduced in 1986, the CS-2 was discontinued in 1989, but vintage versions of this iconic compressor are still popular today.I've personally used this pedal in the studio and on stage, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best delay pedals I've ever had.Unfortunately, I need the money right now, which is the only reason I'm letting it go.
