    I've got an Ibanez CPX, I think it's called. It looks and sounds pretty much like my [now-broken] CP-10. It fattens the tone a bit, I think.

    Teese FK-1. Quite Transparent. Tried it always on, set light (ala chuckocaster) and it sounded really good, but am now using it as a solo boost sustain with great results.

    i use mine from time to time as a lead boost. but since i rarely solo (i'm a rhythm player), i just leave it on.

    Got the Keeley Compressor and it's very good, but sometimes I still prefer my slightly older Maxon CP-101, which when pushed just does something quite special.

    I've tried to avoid shamless promotion of Analog Man, but his compressors are the sland!!!

    Same here. I've been using the Dynacomp since they were first issued. I don't use a compressor live any more, but when I need one when recording, the old MXR works just fine.

    That thing looks way cool...too bad I'm not Donald Trump. I can't spend over $200 on a compressor pedal. Crap.

    Re: Your Favorite Compressor pedal?

    I had a Symetrix rack compressor that was really nice sounding, but a PITA to lug around, since I don't do rackmount guitar stuff. If somebody could figure out how to put a decent rackmount into a box, I bet it'd sell really well.
