I have tried a good number of compressors and my gosh...

Everything about this compressor just kills. First off, I find that it is possibly the most transparent compressor I've used so far. It sounds a lot like the Diamond in that regard.

The tone knob is incredibly useful.

The independent volume knob is great to have.

The wet/dry mix is brilliant...adds tremendously to the versatility of the pedal.

The sustain can dial in a super subtle compression all the way to a nice, harmonically-rich squash. Every setting on this knob is inspiring and useable.

And then, the attack knob is great...I love being able to dial in the spank if I need it...the attack knob does a great job of changing the overall character and feel of the comp.

And finally, it is a very quiet compressor -- adds much less noise than any compressor I've used.

All in all, gosh...I love this thing. Wampler truly killed it on this one. I can't imagine getting rid of it.

Nice, almost got the Ego Comp but decided to get the Diamond.
I merely went with the one I could get delivered the quickest, seeing how both were getting stellar reviews.
The Ego's a very, very versatile comp. Glad to see you enjoy it.
