with the diamond even at minimum i could always hear it working with strummed chords, and couldnt quite get the tone control to hit the right spot, i tended to have it at about 1 maybe, to add a bit of sparkle back.
i just want a compressor to even out and balance the clean notes and chords, rather than hear it 'working'
thats just with the guitars and amps im using now, it may sound very different (and better) with someone elses setup.
the diamond was smooth sounding and i would like to have kept it, but i'm trying to be a bit leaner and cant justify keeping 4 compressors!
so for now im just keeping the bearfoot pale green and mad professor comp, and sold the diamond and selling the bearfoot evergreen which is a stronger flavour of the pale green.
if the pale green goes from 0-5 on the compress scale, then the evergreen probably goes from 1-8.
i'm just making up random numbers there :P
my clean sound is very dull by itself and with the diamond i had to add an extra eq pedal, but with the bearfoot i dont need to.
if i start using different (better) amp and speakers then that might change and i'll have to go through the bloody pedal merry-go-round again
majorscale, same as you i go into the comp 1st thing.
the only time i dont have it on is if im using certain fuzz/drives that are altered by a buffered/impedance signal thingy
im very intrigued by the koji seeing as my needs are the same as yours. is it really worth the price? i dont want to pay 170 for a compressor to be honest. i hoped there would be one on here but theres only a wampler ego thats interesting on here.
You may also want to consider the Walrus Audio Deep Six and as others have recommended the Pale Green.
If I was to pick up another comp to own alongside the Cali76 it would probably be the Fairfield Circuitry Accountant for something very small with unique options that would add something different to the mix, and at not a bad price either.
I tried one recently at hotrox, it seemed to colour the sound a little. (Not sure if its up on their website yet). I preferred the sp comp at the time, tried keeley 4 knob too. I think theyre all ross/dynacomp based.
