Compression is for single coil pups as well as buckers?....Yes? I hope so...  |

Of course it is. You'll get a different character out of them, but you can apply compression to anything that makes noise.

I have the same problem, and I found a guy who says he can modify it to eliminate 75% of the noise. I will let you know when I get it back if it works.

deep, Let me take a wild stab at this, and say "No, compression is not for any kind of pickup". That's because it's a nothing more than a technique of making the overall volume level less dynamic - the softer sounds are brought up to some desired level, and the too-loud levels are cut down to that same desired level. Or so the theory goes, anyway.  In practice, restricting the desired level to overly narrow confines will cause a condition that we describe as 'breathing', the volume adjusts up and down noticably, and often rhythmically - but not in the same time signature as we're playing!  Best to set the threshold for each a little apart. How much? Only your ears can tell you that, sorry I can't get any more precise.  In summary, compression is a playing technique, and not dependent on the source of your tone - it affects only the output signal's decay (the time it takes to drop to inaudibility). HTH sumgai |

koko,
Compression and noise are two separate subjects, and are essentially mutually exclusive. If compression has caused any noise, then of course they become related, but that'd be due only to poor circuit design, not the theory.
BTW, I don't believe I've done the dirty deed yet, so..... Welcome to the Forums! ;D

I had compression summed up for me in an easy to understand way...just what I need!
Turn on a garden hose and watch how the water falls from the hose.
Now, put a cork into the end of a garden hose, with a small hole drilled through the cork.
The water will now stream out of the hose with much more pressure and go much further.
In other words, more uniformed sound, and much more sustain.
