There's so many to choose from. A company that I recommend is Diamond Pedals. They are, or were, on the east coast of Canada. Great guys to deals with. I have used their compressor and it's really clean. I tried to use my first Diamond comp for bass and it was acting up because it was made for guitar. They had me send them the pedal and they changed components to re-voice it for bass. They returned it with all the original parts at no charge. No high end cut and virtually no coloration of your tone. They run about $180.

The thread was over a year old... He already said he bought a pedal... Over a year ago... Did you actually read the OP?

I think he should buy another pedal since I have my Keeley Compressor up for sale right now.

If I had a dollar for every time somebody revived a dead thread... well ...
 
I have an idea. Why not add "DNR" to the thread titles once everyone is tired of it. Ya, I like that idea.

guess it's a good thing it was revived...
 
 
there is always valuable information that can be recycled and seen for the first time.

Well, if the thread has returned to life, could I suggest considering the Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone as well as the Barber? The Pigtronix also has a tone control to help correct for treble loss. Only potential downside is it runs on 18 volts not 9, though a wall wart is included.

Mine has displaced both a Keeley and MXR Supa-comp as my go-to guitar compressor for getting sustain out of clean amp settings and with thr compression turned up and the blend set mostly wet does the Ross/MXR "clicky" compression as well.
