  • Guitar compressors

    These things are very handy piece of equipment must i say!
    Once you learn how to operate it you really nail the tone you like!

    And since the one i am using now is borrowed which one would you reccomend me buying?

      dude, you are starting to sound to me like you need a solid pre-amp like the Voodu... it has EVERYTHING you have been looking for except the sonic maximizer...

            i use a dbx 266xl compressor. I use it ONLY on clean tones. It helps me get that bell like chime on my clean sound.

            In a nutshell, compressors, take the dynamics out of your signal.. so the loud vs soft aspect of the notes will all be the same volume. so a hard strum and a light picking will both sound the same.
