Got the shipping notification this morning from Sweetwater. A Boss DM-2W Delay and Keeley Compressor Plus are on the way.
The last compressor I tried was the Boss CS-3. I love Boss pedals but I could not get along with that one. Compressors and me don't get along most of the time but the Keeley, this is different. I tried the 2-knob version years ago at a guitar show and I still remember talking to Robert about my experience with compressors and he showed me his then new pedal. I listened to him play through it and then he let me play. It didn't feel like it was even on, but the effect of it being on was there. And the sustain was wonderful. Had I been able to snag one, I would've bought one at his booth then and there. Our oldest was still in a stroller so yeah, not a lot of extra gear money. Can't wait to try out the Plus. It has a blend knob which is a great feature in a pedal format.
The Boss DM-2W Delay needs no introduction. This will be out front for clean settings with a longer delay time and more repeats when needed. Everyone I've talked to that has one loves it. Reviews rave about it, Pete Thorn's demo is flat out greatness. A no-brainer.
A pedal snake is also on order from pedalsnake.com. If I'm gonna have a decent board again (5-6 pedals plus amp footswitch), I'm going to make my life easier with setup and tear down.
