Smooth and easy transaction with Pete. A nice shiny compressor has landed at Gales Towers! Thanks Pete!

Well, it's a guitar distortion pedal, so I'd expect you'd get a low end roll off in order to have that all important tight guitar distortion. That said, I expect it will probably loop up well with something like a One Control Mosquite Blender.

Yup, or SpectraComp- That's great. You can pick a TonePrint of your liking, apply it then that's it. One knob to do all the work - and it's tiny. Both of those pedals offer a lot for the money. Triple band compression or single full-band as well as the ability to do 'New York style' parallel compression blending in the dry signal. I can't think of many other pedals that can offer so much access to all of the available parameters and therefore these are right at the top of my list. I do also love the Seymour Duncan Studio Comp, my faithful TC Nova Dynamics and the full band compressor on the EBS Sheehan Deluxe pedal is quite useful too, though less flexible.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1465301122' post='3066893'] I'd avoid 1U, it's so much harder (i.e. more expensive or worse performance) to package an amp in such a shallow casing. 2U gives much more internal space (not just twice as much!) [/quote] Ahh! ha ha - which is what I meant though said more eloquently!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1465300537' post='3066886'] Powersoft is where it's at... although you will be paying a pretty penny for it. [/quote] The Powersoft is indeed a beast. I have used and owned one and they are pretty exceptional. The only downside I can see of *very good* 1u racks is that they tend to be very deep physically. Mine only just fitted in a deep gator rack, but some are longer. You will also find that 2u power amplifiers that are more than capable will be a bit cheaper vs the 1u form factor. I'm currently using a QSC shallow 2u power amplifier which I've been pleased with when I need stereo or big watts. - I'm comparing like for like here, not the cheaper 'unknown brand' 1u units that suggest 1 million watts output from a standard wall socket lol.
