I know, right? I keep telling myself "there's no hurry, just buy and review one pedal per month" ...but then once in a while I go berserk.

"...but I want it nooooooooooooooooooooow!" is the rest of that sentence, and I've said it far too many times.

We're so fortunate to have you as a resource. Your praise on a Compulator got me GASing BAD for one!

Also, the Demeter Compulator is an amazing compressor. I actually bought the one I own from Bongo, sold it to someone else on here a year later, and just recently purchased the very same Compulator back from them.
It's not going anywhere anymore. When I sold it I started kicking myself for selling it.

lol, im having the same problem right now. Thanks to THIS forum i went from owning no effects last month to owning a 1st gen. dod fx-25, fx-25b, and boss OC-2, now im deciding between a loop recorder pedal, the iron ether low pass filter, an mxr blowtorch, or a sovtek big muff pi off of ebay.

There's a twelve step program for this.

Looking forward to a couple in that list!

I should help out and get a Strymon.

Yeah I anticipate that, being as it's in the Ross/Dyna family. My plan is that I bought the kit so I could be sure when testing it that I was reviewing the kit "as provided" with no mods; then I will try two mods I know of for improving the bass end, and comment on the results.

I'd LOVE to learn about the mods you're going to try out!

Sidetrack - is this going to push back your BBBOD endeavor?

My time management (in life, in general) is so poor that all my endeavors keep getting pushed back by the next "shiny object" or "squirrel!" distraction.

me too and there's one going for a good price nearby; but there's a nearly new pedaltrain 2 that I want, also going locally at a good price and I'm already overspent on my FX budget for this month......sh*t! I hate/love that GAS!

WOW. looks fun though, should be a bunch of interesting material.

there's gotta be a way you can generate some income of that site of yours to pay for compressors. i mean it probably gets a decent amount of hits from this community. throw some ads up or something. just trying to help the cause.

Or have an OVNI: After Hours section. I don't know if there are any extra-terrestrial/compressor fetish sites, but i'd be willing to do the research for you, gratis.

Really looking forward to what you have to say on the BYOC Optical. I've never built anything before, but almost pulled the trigger on this a few times.
