There is only one choice for a guitar compressor, in
my opinion. It's the "Keeley Compressor".
I have not tried it for live gigs yet, but for home
recording it's amazing. When I'm writing / recording
at home, and don't want to be heard, I go straight
into a Fender Reverb Unit, out of that into the Keeley
Compressor, and then into a Ampex MX-10 tube pre-amp,
then to the recorder. It sounds exactly like a good
Fender amp mic'd perfectly. No weird thuds, tones, or
strange dynamics, and no noise. Many guitar players
think compressors are lame, but this one is a gem!
Maybe I'll bring it today to the Huntington Beach Surf
Museum for the Surf Drums DVD release party, and see
what happens when I use it with a band.
