BTW: This should get a thorough grammar and spelling check.

Everything's fine, but I'm not sure wether you should be saying "it's hard to find a better one" when it's your first compressor and you haven't looked for any others. maybe i havent but please do tell me where you can get one that can be dialed into a clean boost, treble booster, treble cut, distortion, or paralel distortion

I think you shut him up.

This sounds like it may clear out two or three pedals.

I called and Dave asked if I could solder (Yes, I'm a master solder tech) so, he told me to go buy the exact replacement resistor at RADIO SHACK, and he told me the exact location of the blown component. Well, that was a year ago and my compressor has been kickin' it since. I love my PHILOSOPHER'S TONE Compressor and I never play without it. I was looking to buy a Keeley or Joe Meek when my guy Jim at Accent Music (WILM DE) turned me onto this one. The price was right, the service/support is great and the tone, flexibility and sustain would be hard to improve upon.

I did order an extra 18v power adapter though, just in case. According to the katz I could use a standard adapter in an emergency, but the tone may suffer if the compressor is voltage-starved. (Hoo wants that? Not mee)

My advice is, buy one and don't look back. Even the more idiosyncratic players like 'em.
