This is a great compressor. I'm not much of a rack gear fan so I like this right at my feet where I can mess with it as much as I like.
I love this pedal.

Alt rock, indie.
Works for most styles that require the use of a bit of compression.
Best Stomp compressor out there in my opinion.
Sounds brillaint, you can dial in a variety of compression using the different modes, you can also hike up the pre-gain with the Comp set low and overdrive it very sweetly.
Also built for guitar and Vocals.
Generally brilliant!!
REad the manual, 5 minutes later you inderstand, then you mess about for a while and find what you like, very easy and also fun!
Electro-Harmonix gear is never gonna match Boss in the reliability stakes so it'll get 4.
