Boss CP-1X Compressor

Never had one in my rig so trying to build an experience and yes... it's a day and night... for cleans and even for gain tones. Specially applicable in a blues and rock styles. Softens up my Statocaster sound and got a feeling it cuts much better through the mix.

The Boss CP-1X is Intelligent Multiband Compressor featuring intelligent multiband compression technology. It analyzes your guitar's signal in real-time and applies compression to different frequency bands independently, allowing for more precise control over the dynamics of your sound.

The pedal provides transparent and incredibly natural compression that enhancing the guitar's tone without altering its core characteristics. It aims to maintain the original dynamics and nuances of your playing while controlling peaks and enhancing sustain.

Plus... The on-time compression level led indicators are really cool!

It takes the first place in my signal chain... well... right after the tuner.
