Re: OT compressor stompbox

I've haven't tried out many.  I have an old Dynacomp that's good but not when you don't want the clicks of quick attack.  An Ibanez in my old UE400 multi effects that's cool for some stuff and served me for years. But overall,  I LOVE the Empress Compressor.  Parallel compression - you can mix/control the amount of compression - which is a really cool effect.  You can drive it like a team of horses and it not one of them whinnies.  That is, it holds up really well when you slam it.  I think it falls into the less affordable category, though.

If I'm correct you are looking for a parallel comp ?
 these are nice

 the Pigtronix also does blend as does the Carl Martin, which is an excellent unit. If I'm not mistaken there is a barely used barber tone press at the store I work at,  if you are interested I'll find out what the guy wants for it. I'm not sure I'd recommend the compressor   I use for you , the OWA 1960, as it is more subtle,  unless you crank the sustain,  and it has no parallel blend capability. Its also hand made and more expensive, but it is a fantastic compressor.
