The Best I Have Found
I play Telecaster in a Country/Rock bar band. I've owned and used MXR, BBE, Digitech, Barbour, Biyang, Diamond and previous Keeley compressors. This one kicked a Diamond off my board. I use compression as an always on fatten and sweeten the tone, level out the unwanted dynamics, lightly applied effect. Almost more of a buffer than a compressor. I find there is always a little trade off between compression and a non-compressed signal, but not with this compressor. I have enjoyed every compressor I have used. None of these are bad at all. I would gig with any of them. The Diamond is exceptional. But for my use, the new Keeley Compressor Plus does the best job of enhancing without robbing the tone. It has a great "feel" to it. Very versatile, though I just use it on one setting. In band and gig situations, this one is my favorite. And it is bout 30% less expensive than my second favorite, which I liked well enough to buy two. Better than it's predecessors and and considerably less expensive. If you use compression like I do, you may really love this one.
