Great pedal. I love it Tend to have it on 0 0 just above unity as an always on for single coils. Higher comp gives quite a thump on attack. You can hear this on the demo. It's great into an overdriven and naturally compressing tone but in a clean tone, it can be a bit much. It definitely keeps the highs coming through at low comp (and accentuates them a bit). If you believe in such thing, it has mojo in spades....

yes this is what I needed to hear, this is the only demo ive found of someone actually playing funk music with this compressor lol.

The part from 0:50 onwards reminds me of Satriani's If I Could Fly :) Excellent playing as always, a great demo, thank you!

Cool pedal & this is the most beautiful Telecaster I've ever seen!

[MaxPaws]

It seems like it attenuates (or compresses) the high frequencies a bit much. I know that's a "problem" with many compressors... would you say that's true here as well?

[Cheaperthanego]

sublime..been enjoying your rutbuster lessons hugely as well.Many, many thanks for sharing your knowledge. Have you ever thought about doing travelling guitar clinics? Greg Koch came here (Aberdeen, Scotland) and packed the store out. You play at least as well as him, come on - I'll come down!

Curious why you stopped carrying Fairfield. Was looking to get this guy

[Windpuppy]

I want a tiny compressor with a blend knob

[soundknight]

I really like the look of this pedal and its sound is so sweet, very desirable. There's just one thing, I'm afraid of accountants.

[YeahYeahYuhBoy]

What's that first song? It's awesome! Are you using a POG for the octave down?

[Giggity]

how does it compare to the xotic SP compressor ?

[Marshallstack]

How do you feed a mix through this pedal? I've been trying to figure out how to use hardware/outboard stuff with recording. Is there a way to take what you've already recorded and feed it out to a pedal or rack and back into the software? By the way, great demo as always.

Sounds great and the thing looks cool too, but... 'The Accountant'?? That has to be the most horrible name choice in pedal history!
Maybe that's why they didn't write it on there ;)
