Well then, go for it, nothing in The Agreement says you can't rearrange things you already own. 8)

The compressor by itself may amplify noise from the environment, especially if you're doing expressive little things as I've been known to do attempt on the fretless. The gate helps lots. Plus, on breaks, you can just turn a knob to make it a mute pedal. Pretty handy. Plus, at home, I can use it to power a bunch of other Boss pedals. Loves me my NS-2. Watch out though... I just learned there can be problems when powering older ACA Boss pedals with a PSA unit. 12v vs 9v! You won't blow up the house, but LED's will act funny and your sound may suffer.
