I love this one for a treble-boosted chimey thang:
Otherwise, I don't use compressors at all.
Vox amps have enuff compression for me already.

Re: Lets talk compressors
I use two compressors when I use any at all. For the jangly Byrds/Beatles sound on Rics.. It's the Jangle Box.. Actually it will put any guitar in the jangly ballpark.
For anything else, it's the Demeter Compulator. Smooth, subtle, adds a bit of sheen. I always liked the Dyna Comp but man it is noisy.. Sold my old one years ago..

Re: Lets talk compressors
i just might have to give that a try! i've got the Lollar JM PUPs in it and they make that middle position something truly special...
now i just need to bite the bullet and get a Vox like i almost have for the last 5 years or so, haha

or the AC30 Heritage if you can deal with some more volume.
I love these amps.

There's a nice looking vintage script Dynacomp over on TGP I've been eyeing, but the coffers are empty, so go to it...
Dear Bongo, No.
Good deals with all these guys

Re: Lets talk compressors
Cubba,
Are there any of the new AC30 reissues where you can actually jump the channels like on the original? The one I played at GC sounded good, but you couldn't blend the channels... What maroon thought of that "feature"?

i was thinking about getting a night train and a cheap cab just to have it a couple weeks back but lol i guess if i'm gonna buy a new amp i shouldn't do it half-assed right?
I do love the Vox sound... and I do love my Jazzmaster... but truth be told i think my next amp will be something with EL34s... I need a serious pummel-you-in-the-face dirty channel to be the bad cop to my fender's good cop
one day i'm sure i'll have like 4 amps and a good handwired Vox will be among them though

Re: Lets talk compressors
keeley 4-knobs... fantastic compressor. with the input clipping knob you can really avoid chopping off the highend tones and still keep a real clear sound with fair amounts of compression. Damn silent as well!
