Route 66 Compression/Overdrive

[Ripper]

I just decided on and bought a [glow=red,2,300]"Route 66 "[/glow]compression/overdrive pedal.

Its built like a tank, and I love the compression. The o/d on the other hand leaves much to be desired. I have never used one to be honest, but I find the noise when engaged too much for me.

Am I using it wrong?...I use it at the front of the chain, not in the loop. I have heard lots of good feedback about overdrive...so far im not thrilled.

hey Blue,

IMHO, a compressor is best used at the very front of a chain.

but since i don't use pedals, take that with a grain of salt.
