Compressor is an interesting effect. people say it's essential, some say it's unnecessary.
I used to think it's unnecessary. despite of the fact that my multi effect has 3 comp model (dyna comp model, Boss CS-2 model and one that's made by Digitech), I almost never used them until recently when I realized the lack of option for clean boost within the unit. I realized that by boosting the level on the compressor, I can push distortion pedals/amps even harder without coloring the tones too much. that was an amazing discovery and I am now more interested in how Edge uses a compressor; does he use it to even out the dynamics in his playing (I remember Dallas said that Dyna comp is used during his slide solos) or he has other tricks as well? also, how do you guys use compressors? just being curious.
