Compressor Shootout

[shredus]

Ibanez Roadstar II played using various compressors in front of amp (but not in the following order.. just so you can hear for yourself before seeing them..)

BJFe Pine Green Compressor (at 12v)
Boss Compression Sustainer CS-1
Boss Compression Sustainer CS-2
MXR Custom Comp
One Control Lemon Yellow Compressor (Comp Mode)
T-Rex Comp-Nova

Mesa Boogie Mark III Red Stripe using Clean & Rhythm Channels

Zoom Q2HD

The Pale Green by BJFE is the winner for me. It's an Optical based comp though, right?

Yes, to be fair it was given some extra volts but yes it is really nice.

Here is a link to a great resource for reviews of different compressors.. the reissue TC sustain / parametric is worth a read..
