BBE Orange Squash

Sign in to disble this ad
The BBE Orange Squash Compressor Pedal is currently on clearance at musicians friend for $30. At this price, is it worth getting to try out how a compressor would work for me? I'm not one to really use effects, but have recently considered adding a compressor to my signal.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Yes, I have seen Bongo's review on this pedal, and while even though he says it ok, not great, I'm still curious about it due to the current low price.

Ha Ha....I was about to give you a link to bongo's review.

$30 bucks is a good deal for a pedal that I can only seem to find a $120 price tag on.

You'd certainly be able to get your $30 dollars back I would think.

EDIT:

I should add that I haven't seen a whole lot of that pedal on these boards. Maybe the guitards like em?

I wouldn't say that you missed out on anything. There are plenty of cheap compressors that you can try out and flip if you don't like it.

I use the Boss LMB-3....It was around $70 new. Cheaper than a lot of comps. Enough so that I'd keep it for a 2nd board should I get a different comp.

The BBE Opto Stomp gets some love on these boards as well.

Keep looking at the Stupid Deal of the Day, I think. A couple days ago the BBE Treble Booster was cleared out for $29. Maybe wel'll see the OptoStomp and the SonicStomp in the next day or so. Trouble is, I'm in California, and I'm like a "wake up at the crack of noon" kind of guy.
