So @Al Krow offered me a lend of his Becos Stella Compressor to try out and see if it "lived up to the hype" (some of which was mine based upon the feature set alone). So huge thanks to him for that! TLDR: This is flat out the most transparent and full featured pedal format compressor I have ever tried. Which may or may not be what you need I had it for a couple of weeks, used it with my band and mainly in the den listening to it in mixes trying to see how much I could get out of it.
