Le constrictor est un compresseur sous forme de pédale. Il comprend trois réglages : volume (niveau de sortie), taux de compression et un réducteur de bruit. Un selecteur premet de choisir parmi trois émulations de compresseur (dans l'ordre années 70, 80 et 60). On note la présence d'une alimentation secteur ou à pile (9 volts). Le poids est imposant, ce qui inspire confiance et évite à la pédale de glisser sur le sol. On peut regretter l'absence d'un reglage de l'attaque et de la tonalité comme sur le compresseur boss.

UTILISATION
L'utilisation est très simple, mais je déplore quelques détails. D'abord, si l'ouverture de la trappe pour la plie est astucieuse, je trouve que l'effet n'est pas toujours facile à enclencher ou à arrêter. Il faut souvent s'y reprendre à deux fois, surtout si l'on porte des grosses chaussures. Ensuite, le selecteur du type de compreseur pourrait aussi être plus gros afin de faciliter son utilisation. Le manuel (en français) est satisfaisant. Enfin, je trouve que les boutons bougent trop facilement, ils n'opposent pas assez de résistance.
QUALITÉ SONORE
Les sons sont beaux et réalistes. Il est plaisant de changer de type de compression, ce qui rend la pédale plus polyvalente que bien d'autres. Lorsque je l'utilise sur un ampli à modelisation, je trouve qu'elle ne compresse pas suffisemment (mais c'est une affaire de goût). Sur un ampli à lampes, c'est mieux, puisqu'il existe une compression naturelle. Le mieux est d'écouter la démo sur le site Line 6. Je l'utilise avec diverses guitares éléctriques, des amplis à modelisation et à lampes.
AVIS GLOBAL
Je l'utilise depuis un mois, avant j'avais une Boss qui devenait bruyante. J'aime son aspect solide, sa polyvalence, mais j'aurais voulu à peine plus de compression (sans tomber dans l'excès) et une pédale plus souple à enclencher. Je pense que c'est, malgrès cela, une bonne pédale de compression. Attention ! Il semble impossible de brancher une pédale Line 6 avec d'autres pédales (Line 6 ou non) sur un même adaptateur (avec une guirlande par exemple), sans avoir un gros buzz. C'est très bête !

(contenu en anglais)The Line 6 Constrictor is a digital compression pedal that is designed for use with the electric guitar. It has a 1/4 inch input and output and is powered by either a nine volt battery or a nine volt power supply. It is not a rackable unit as it is a stomp box.
UTILIZATION
Using the Line 6 Constrictor is a really easy thing to do as it only has a few parameters. It has a switch to choose between three different modes - compact, squeeze, and mellow and then has knobs for level, gate, and sustain. This is more than enough to get a variety of nice compressors sounds for all different situations. I don't have the manual for the Line 6 Constrictor, but it isn't necessary as the pedal is an easy one to figure out.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality of the Line 6 Constrictor is pretty awesome overall, as this will certainly add a tone of sustain to your sound if that is what you are looking for. It can also give you a great crunch sound as well as all types of basic compression for lead and rhythm guitar. I usually use the Line 6 Constrictor with a Fender Stratocaster and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb and I'm very happy with the sound that I get when I use this combination. The Line 6 Constrictor has a very impressive sound that is perfect for live shows.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Line 6 Constrictor for about two years and I have to say that it is one of the better compression foot pedals that I have used. For live gigs this pedal works great and is even useful in the studio. The price of the Line 6 Constrictor is very reasonable and makes it a legitimate option for players on all levels and price ranges. Having the three different modes makes this pedal a versatile one in addition to its overall great sound. If you are looking for a good sounding guitar compression pedal that isn't too expensive, the Line 6 Constrictor is a great way to go.

VishNuRoXoUtCompresseur décent pour l'argent.
Publié le 29/06/11 à 01:54 (contenu en anglais)The Line 6 Constrictor is one of the very rugged and extremely durable ToneCore series pedals. It's got a solid build and seems relatively indestructible. Standard input and output with a 9V adapter for powering. It has a very nice LED that is green when the pedal is engaged and turns red when there is a lack of power and it is unplugged. It has a Level knob that controls the overall level making this a good pedal if you want to use it as a boost. It has a sustain knob which controls the amount of sustain and compression you want. From lightly compressed to chicken pickin' squash. It has a gate knob that cuts down some noise but can further compress your signal making there be a bit of tone loss. Not so much so that I don't like this pedal though. Lastly there is a switch that changes the "compression dynamics", ranging from compact to squeeze to mellow. There are different levels of compression, I thought this was a cool switch, helps dial in exactly what you want.
UTILIZATION
It's pretty easy to set up. The manual is clear on how to get certain sounds. You can get some nice variations of compression out of this pedal and it really surprised me. I use it to get a little boost and liven up my clean tone. It works wonders for that. I play a lot of ambient stuff and like a lot of clean leads so this works extremely well for that. Very happy with the pedal in that aspect.
SOUND QUALITY
I use the pedal for my electric guitar only, but I'm sure it could handle other stringed instruments really well. It has a wide range of compression so it's fairly versatile in that sense. Obviously if you crank the sustain knob and gate knobs you'll be at a loss of tone. But that's what squashy compression does. This thing nails that and also much subtler "tone sweetening" compression. The only problem I have found sonically is that the pedal is very noisy when used in a daisy chain. I have it plugged in by it's own 9V adapter and it solved that problem for the most part. I couldn't be happier for the price of this pedal.
OVERALL OPINION
The pedal is built like a tank. It is very reasonably priced and it sounds pretty dang good. I've tried a few other compressors and this is definitely one of my favourites. It may not be the best, but it surely does what I need it to do. For the price you can find these pedals used, you would be hard pressed to find something better. I'd definitely recommend them to someone fairly new to compression.
