See my review on the Beano Boost for my rig. This is an extremely quiet compressor as far as compressors go. This is obivously a pedal that shapes one's tone like that of TREY ANASTASIO of Phish. Though he has rarely used this pedal, he used a ROSS Compressor for years, and the Comprossor is a clone of it. He has one on his board, but he rarely uses his compressors from 12/31-/02 to the present (today is 4/3/06).
Reliability/Durability:
IT'S A TANK! Analogman's pedals could last a war. Zakk Wylde needs this stuff.
Ease of Use:
This is the best compressor ever. I've tried many, and I use it in conjuntion with the Juicer sometimes. But this compressor never goes off on my board, it sounds amazing. Tweaking the settings slightly makes the sound that much more perfect for what you're playing. What a pedal.
Customer Support:
Mike is often gone but very nice.
Overall Rating:
Phish. See my Beano Boost review for the other crap. This is my go to compressor, nothing comes close. I love it. Plus it's TRUE BYPASS. Great unit, and it weighs absolutely nothing.
