Behringer CL9 Compressor / Limiter Effects Pedal

Behringer CL9 Compressor Limiter Pedal

Whether it’s a soulful solo or a punchy rhythm hook, the Behringer CL9 gives your playing the spotlight it deserves. By levelling out volume inconsistencies — boosting quieter notes and taming the louder ones — the CL9 ensures smooth, stable dynamics and virtually endless sustain. It’s your secret weapon for a tighter, more polished tone.

What Does a Compressor Do?

Compression is essential for controlling dynamics — softening peaks and lifting the quietest parts of your playing. The result is a fuller, more consistent tone where every nuance is heard. Whether you're playing expressive blues, intricate fingerpicking, or aggressive leads, the CL9 makes your sound more present and refined.

Perfect for Guitar and Bass

Do some of your strings sound louder than others? That’s natural — but with the CL9, you can even them out for a more balanced performance. It’s especially handy for slap bass styles, where thumb slaps, string pops and muted notes can all be brought to a consistent level for a tight, percussive effect.

Simple and Effective

The Level knob sets the pedal’s output, Attack controls the pick or strum response, and Sustain dials in how long your notes ring out. A status LED shows when the effect is active, while the quality electronic On/Off switch ensures clean signal bypass. Power it with a 9V battery or the Behringer PSU-SB DC power supply (sold separately).
