Two great compressors here from Hagerman.
First up, the Squish. A compressor that has that lively and bouncy feel of Ross/Dyna designs but with considerably lower noise and virtually no weird artifacts introduced into the signal path.
You notice it when you turn it off because the way your playing feels changes — a lot.
If you want just a bit more sustain without changing the overall sound of your instrument, the Squish is a strong contender.

A fantastic compressor at $75 shipped CONUS. Paypal F&F preferred.
Next up, the Hagerman Tube Compressor. [SOLD] A boutique all-analog vacuum tube compressor pedal using a single 12AU7 tube. It was designed to offer transparent compression with low noise while adding great sustain.
Think LA-2A style compression here. The circuit is feed-forward side-chain and custom opto-resistive attenuation produces a soft knee providing a very natural presentation without that dip-and-swell effect.
This is one of those compressors that if you like it, will be an always on type pedal. Everything just sounds and feel better when it is on. Interestingly, the Compressor sounds glorious with passive basses where there is no preamp utilized. Maybe something with impedance going on but wow, I really like the sound and feel when switching off my onboard bass preamps. It's great with basses with preamps too.
Notable comparable devices would include the Effectrode PC-2A and Effectrode LA-1A. If you've got your eye on the either one of those compressors you should take a serious look at the Hagerman Compressor. It is less expensive and introduces much of the same sound and feel.
