Wampler Cory Wong Compressor

I like the idea of the XLR out. Similar to the JHS. I stuff my comp at the front of my chain though. I have a ton of respect for Brian Wampler. His designs are very good and he understands EQ and how it affects different instruments at a level greater than some pedal makers. And Wong is a great player.

I guess @scubaduba is going to have to review it.
 
I ordered one.

I was actually going to purchase an EGO or SUHR Woodshed this week. Pricey for a Compressor, but I'm digging the boost feature. I'm not sure if I'll use the XLR out (I run my Compressor before dirt), but it may be nice to run a clean signal to a board/DAW for recording.

Random musings:

*Does anybody have a need to DI from a compressor in real-world applications (live vs studio)?

My question too. Seems like an odd choice. If it's going for an AIO value add, it sort of misses the mark to me with very limited EQ functionality. Especially with many preferring comp at beginning of chain.

Maybe for guitarists, however, comp at the end of the chain makes more sense. And given Cory's affinity for DI guitar, maybe that's just what he's going for. End of the chain for the recording guitarist.
