Switching compressor off?

[Berten]

I don't understand the use of compressor stompboxes? I use my compressor all the time. I don't switch it off. If people use a compressor stompbox and switch it on and off during song, why do you do it??

Just wondering....

My compressor (EBS MultiComp) stomp box is always on. I just didn't want to have to use another rack space for a compressor, although I do lust after the Rane DC 24 every once in a while.

SMASH,

Did your Black finger and Keeley ever come in? If so, what do you think?

I have a DBX 160A in the rack and an Analogman Bi-Compressor in the pedal board. The 160A is often set for light limiting. It is always on. The the pedal compressor is turned on for effect. The Ross-side has smooth, sustained, bright sound. Works great with other effects. The Orange-squeeze sound is similar in sound to an LA-2A circuit. Very squishy with old school roundness.

Yeah, I got it last week. Been running about like mad, haven't had a chance to use it much. But it sounds pretty cool so far, definitely worth keeping round in the collection
