This could be one reason: "Compressors based on optical circuits can sound very good but the latest EU regulations have outlawed the use of Cadmium Sulphide so light dependent resistors (LDRs) are now banned and so are compressors which use them."
I've recently purchased one, just got it the past month...I've compared it to every thing out there, heard some similar...but not better in any sort of way. This pedal is the bomb! I'm so glad I stumbled onto these wampler pedals! they are great pedals!
@jashobbsie hello did you in particular compare it with the Keeley, I am fairly new to using a compressor and realise the great improvement in my sounds , I have the boss but want to move onto a top compressor,thanks
Maybe it's just my ears, but this particular compressor seems to have the edge over just about every other compressor out there. The keeley, the barber, and the hbe cpr just don't seem to have the... realism this pedal has. Between that switch and the clean blend... this pedal is TOPS!
I have a question, to have more then 2 pedals set up will you need to connect them to each other with a lead (or lots of leads XD). And will that work?
I'm making a old kevlar arm sleeve into a Christmas stocking tonight. I think your new pedals will hold up just nicely in it this year! Lord knows I love a great compressor!
Hard to really judge just listening on YouTube but how does this compressor compare to a Boss CS-3, other than the blend knob? Anyone??

I was looking for a compressor that didn't suck the life out of my sound....and this is it! The Ego compressor is the bees knees!

Can you demo it in front of a dirty amp?
Do you still have your palomino? I don't know why but I think I remember you saying it was sold. Maybe not.
Anyway that would be great.
