Philosophers Tone Micro : Finally, a compressor that does it all except break the bank

Thanks to its optical design, clever Blend option and a useful Treble control, you can set this compressor to be so subtle you wonder if it's even on, all the way to funk squash (though admittedly it won't go to the extremes that some OTA or VCA type compressors can).

I use compression quite a bit, especially for funk rhythm, but want to keep my tone as close to what's coming out the amp without compression on. This does just that. There are others that can do it, but they are significantly more expensive.

For the money, there's no competition. Unless you can't live without the extra tweability of say, an Empress or a Cali76; or the prestige of a Diamond Comp, this absolutely sits in their league and leaves you a penny or two for a nice drive pedal.
