I'm a sucker for level meters.

+1, they are cool to watch when you are playing. Gotta love meters and LED's!

I did NOT need to see that. Really, I guess the price isn't too bad - it's right in there with the other to compressors on my short list: the Wampler Ego Compressor and the JHS Pulp 'n' Peel. And it's very powerful. And has metering. I'm a sucker for level meters.

Yeah, it's pretty much in line with other high end comps. I really like the meter too. It's useful to know how much my guitar is getting squashed at any given moment. Plus it's purty

Sure, it sounds good based on the video. Youtube video is generally low quality in the audio department, so it would be great to hear this effect in a shop where you can test it out for yourself.

Re: NPD: Empress Phaser!

I have had the Empress phaser for about 6 months now and absolutely love it too. I was not a phaser guy, at all, but I have been drawn to the Empress effects for their extremely wide range of versatility. I find the phaser very musical in that I can actually use all the different settings (or at least think I can use them - there is a lot of them) in my playing.

I also own their trem, delay and phaser and been pining for the multidrive. It came out just as I got an FEA fuzz pedal so I don't really "need" the multidrive.
