So, I've started a savings account, that will let me get (roughly) one new pedal a month . Or something equivalent.
I played around with my new Zoom multi-effects trough my Blackstar HT-20mkII this morning, and even though the Zoom sounds kinda "plastic'y" and sucks tone,
i enjoyed using some of the compressor pedal simulations.
I find it adds some chime & warmth to my cleans, and also lets my distorted tone and leads, sustain longer- without having to add more gain.
..
As some of you know, I have absolutely no chance of trying out stuff before I order them. There's only one music store left in North Norway, and that's a (excuse me) terrible little store, located over 2 hours with bus from here. And last time I checked, they didn't stock anything that did interest me.
The pedals I've looked at online, is the EHX "Tone Corset", and the Fender "The Bends". They cost roughly the same, and share a feature that I feel is a "must have" for me, a dry/wet blend knob.
I'm "afraid" I will use the compressor as an /always on/ pedal, to fatten up the tone. Therefore the "blend" knob seems very nice. But I have no experience with compressors, so... I really don't know .
Anyone have experience with these two? And/or can you recommend a compressor pedal, that sounds musical- preferably analog; and not outside my price range?
Thanks alot,
