Extensive compressor reviews and FAQ

Electro-Harmonix White Finger: Man, this pedal was a disappointment. On the one hand, the range and quality of compression styles and tones is amazing -from the funkiest squish EVER, to subtle transparency- but the noise level at all settings is ridiculous. They should have named this model the "White Noise". I wanted to love this pedal, the compression is so awesome and full of character, but the noise was just unacceptable. If you're in a loud funk/rock band and can handle the noise though, I think you'd dig it. I like that even though this thing has more controls and options than most pedal comps, it's actually pretty easy to find good-sounding settings- I didn't have to painstakingly hunt for the right settings the way I did with the Carl Martin. The footswitch is true bypass.
