compressor comparison
i am looking for a compressor in the no too high price range. like the
boss CS-3, digitech main squeeze, dyna comp, marshall ED1, or
something else in that price range. how do theses boxes compare with
respect to basic tone and variability in possibilities?

I think Boss compressors are terrible. Vintage Dyna Comps are nice,
but the new ones are not. I have never used a Marshall ED1 or a
Digitech.
Both the Boss and the DynaComps can be improved with modifications.
I am using an MXR SuperComp, and I can't complain about it. It
replaced a (new) DynaComp I had for about 10 years. The SuperComp is
small and true-bypass. If you push it hard it starts to distort a
little, but this doesn't bother me.

Not for the comparative cost of a used CS-3.
But if you do, let me be the first to offer you $60 for it!

Dave, do you gig with the Super Comp? Is it a little more transparent that
the Dyna?

I'm not Dave, but I do and I believe it is.
I'm not typically rocking or overdriving. I'm
either jazzing, just evening out the levels
a tiny, tiny bit, or I'm nashcasting, getting
that hot-single pup chicken stuff.
I can set my stock supercomp so that if I'm not
looking at the LED, I can't tell, nor can the engineer,
if it's on or off. That's 100% transparent, I'd say.
I could never say the same thing about a stock dyna.

Thanx for the input... Yeah, with the regular Dyna Comp you KNOW it's on. I
like that sound but not giggable IMO.

Yes, and yes.
The SuperComp is significantly more transparent than a DynaComp. More
versatile too.

Re: compressor comparison
thanks for the resonses so far.
the super comp sounds like the best offer in the cheapish range,
whereas advice as gone against the boss and the new dynacomp.
have also heard good things about the dod milk box but i am unsure if
it is still available.

What works for me may not be the best solution for someone else.
There are players here who swear by Boss compressors, and think I'm an
idiot for not liking them. Nashville session-aces tend to like
DynaComps and/or Orange Squeezers. So take everyone's advice with a
grain of salt.
Also, the world is full of guys who can build replicas of most simple
analog pedals (compressors, distortion, envelope filter). You could
possibly find a cheap clone of a famous pedal without looking hard. I
know there was a guy who made a cool-looking pedal version of the
Orange Squeezer and sold them on Ebay.
Ebay is your friend for low-end used analog gadgets. Buy 'em used,
sell 'em for what you paid in the first place. For a while there, I
was buying a pedal every couple of weeks, and selling a different one
on alternate weeks.

good point! compressors are just hard to get a realistic impression
out in a first try out.

You can get some good Nashville pickin out of a Boss Compressor.
The Super Comp is good.
I currently use an Electro Harmonix Black Finger, but I use it as a
tube preamp with a tad of compression. It is first in my effects
chain, into all my pedals and then into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. This
setup allows me to have a compressed Rock tone at lower volumes than
the Fender alone would allow. I now have a tight clean tone.
