Good for Fender, not so much Gibson

First of all this is an awsome pedal. It is simple, solid, and it def satisfies. For fender guitars this thing does wonders, it gives my 52 tele that added thinkness and tone and for lack of words gives it balls. It adds amazing sustain to both my tele and lp. The one thing i have noticed though is with my les paul (57 classic and classic plus) it adds this like punch on the neck pickup when i strike the strings. This is with chords and everything but it only shows on clean. I have tried all types of attack and sustain and it is impossible to not have it if you want any sustain at all. But it does wonders with my overdrive. I hate it does this but i wont count it against them its just a side note i wanted to add. But over all this pedal is definatly worth them money. Very solid and road worthy, and uses the same power supply as boss pedals. This pedal is about as close you can get to a keeley compressor!

I just bought this about a week ago. So far, I am very impressed. I thought my strat sounded good before, but I don't think I'll ever play live again w/out this pedal. The tone it provides is amazing. Now I love the bite and thin attack you get from a distorted strat, but I really like the getting that thicker, smoother tone, and that is exactly what you get from the soul preacher. I run this with a TS-9, and the combination sounds great. You get this best sound with the sustain all the way up and the volume about half way. The only complaint I have is the hissy feedback that comes from the volume turned up. I also can't tell the difference from the slow, med, or fast attack, but I'm still experimenting with it. Overall, this a great compact little pedal that is well worth the buy if you've got the green to pay for it.

This is EH?

I am a professional bassist and was looking for a nice compression pedal to substitute for my dbx 266xl in case I'm ever either unable or too lazy to bring my entire rack along to a show. This was not the answer. Even powered by a Furman SPB-8 pedal board, this thing added a ton of awful hiss to my signal, even with EMG pickups, which are dead silent no matter what. Oh yeah, the compression sucked, too. No dynamic quality whatsoever. Keep looking. A total waste of money.

If you understand what a compressor is supposed to do, and you own a guitar -- buy this! It is not really an "effects" pedal -- it just makes your guitar respond better to your pick. Your tone will be richer and hotter. Various tones are available by using the switches and knobs. I bought this to replace a Dyna Comp (the other "best" compressor) and now I prefer this one. It does bring a tiny little bit of "dirt" (which is mentioned in the manual) but that can be a good thing. That little bit of dirt makes my clean channel sound amazing. Try it plugged-in before your wah to super-charge the results! AWESOME! Not recommended for acoustic guitars...

If you have to buy one pedal...

It was recommended to me a while ago that if you have to get one piece for your guitar setup... get a compressor pedal. I didn't know how much of a difference it would make until I got this pedal. First off this thing is tiny, and doesn't take up any space, but got this thing, and it blew me away. It makes your guitar sound like it should on a heavily produced CD. The only problem I have with this pedal is that on cheap PA, systems it has a hiss sound that is no good. But if you get to play on good systems all the time, then thats not really a problem. But if you are looking to make your sound improve ten fold, get this little guy.
