About this deal
I used -35 as anything lower than this was not triggering the automatic recording on my Boss RC-30 when I started the looped bass line! I’m looking forward to getting my hands on a Boss LMB-3 shortly and seeing how it fares against the Keeley with the same yardsticks as I’ve tested for above. The limiter pedal includes dedicated level, enhance, ratio and threshold controls that are incredibly easy to use and offer an intuitive method of shaping your sound.
With 'Threshold' set at min (for max overall compression) this managed to cut the volume = -30 on the Keeley scale (max = -50 on the Keeley). The BLE400 evens out your tone to make it as robust as your playing by smoothing out harsh volume peaks, making it invaluable for bass players who often employ slapping and popping styles in their playing. Setting the compression to max (∞ to 1), the Keeley managed to reduce the volume by the same amount as the Behringer with the Threshold at only -25 and then took things down to a pretty negligible volume by -50.
Cure your dull, lifeless bass tone with the Behringer Bass Limiter Enhancer BLE400 dynamics effects pedal.

My key objective in having a Limiter at the end of my signal chain is to be the “sentry” providing speaker protection against signal spikes from synth / filter pedals and when playing slap bass.The enhance circuit is lethal though - it does make the bass sound good, but there's too much hiss when you're not playing and it sucks the life out of the bass when mixed with drums and guitars.
