SQUASH THE JAM OCOMPRESSOR

This new company reminds me of Origin when they started. Just a guy that wanted to make the best Comp possible and only sold that one pedal.

It is a VCA type of Comp. These are indeed the most transparent and good at not coloring the sound. Comps are the clean sound equivalent of an OD pedal. 

The right one adding the right coloration is often preferred or in my case just like an OD having different Comps for different sounds is cool. The layout is ...'Ratio' that goes right up to full out 'Limiting' ultra squash. 'Blend' brings in you balance between comp and not comped. 'Level' out, crank as needed. Lastly 'Threshold' is like a pre-delay on a Reverb pedal. Often having it come in late is great because you can have a near uncompressed signal with it kicking in just when your sustain wants to die. 

CONCLUSION ___

If you tried a Comp and did not like it you might find you had the wrong type. I will not go thru every type but will mention the first guitar Comps the Dyna comp and Ross that are OTA. The best selling OTA Comp ever, and still the best seller is the Keeley Compressor +. Literally thousands sold. I have one and at $150.00 USD for most of us you can not go wrong with it. The Cork Sniffers delight is the $365.00 USD ...Origin FX Cali76 a FET Comp. FETS sound like tubes so that is it's big appeal. Tubes both fatten and warm up your tone.
