About the Compression Sustainer CS-3
The Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer is the most common starting point for players discovering compression. Its four controls (level, tone, attack, sustain) give more flexibility than the Dyna Comp, letting you shape how quickly the compressor engages and how hard it clamps down. It can add subtle consistency for clean playing or aggressive squash for country chicken-picking.
