*by J***O on 20 January 2014*

The M87 has a quite a few features that the others do not have. The first noticeable difference is the LED meter. While this is almost common nowadays on rack mounted compressors, it is not on pedals. I found the meter to be quite helpful in adjusting the input and output controls, along with the release, attack, and ratio adjustments needed to get the performance out of the pedal that I wanted. Another great feature of the M87 is the input and output ratio. I was able to adjust my input at a higher level, and keep the output at a lower level to give a more balanced and level sound for the different styles and techniques used. The M87 also has a foot switch that allows you to have the pedal on, or in true bypass mode with a blue light as an indicator to let you know which mode is currently functioning. The M87 can be powered with one 9 volt battery or with an adapter/power supply. The housing is small and durable. Everything is detailed to read in an easy way and this device is a powerhouse that everyone should have in their lineup. The instructions that came with the M87 are very thorough, which makes it easier for those that may not yet fully understand the aspects and effect that a compressor can have on your sound.
