EBS MultiComp Blue Label

I know there are many compressors out there with all kinds of buttons to tweak the bra strap of the sound but the truth is, most people can't use them right and they end up destroying their dynamics (even so-called professionals). This compressor is perfect if the set attack and release ratios are in your ballpark. It's a set and forget pedal for me and I think I've bought every single edition over the years (I like to switch gear around, sue me) and I keep coming back to it. The Tubesim mode is IT, even with a tube (pre)amp. Nice bit of warmth and harmonics added, just in the right place and I find I rarely go to 3:1 (just before noon on the compression dial) with it. I'm running it at 18V. It's a fantastic pedal and definitely in my all time top three pedals.
