...the old, gray Ross Compressor + Danelectro Cool Cat Transparent Overdrive + Roland JC 120 + Gretsch Atkins Axe/Rickenbacker 330 = Magic that can rattle your bones!

Sounds great with the 13K toasters, nice and fat, and adds some needed sustain. The JB2 works well with everything I've plugged into it, actually. It hasn't struck out yet. And no annoying click on the attack like some other compressors I tried. Sorry I can't offer a more technical description ... I flunked out of nerd school. :oops:

My favourite compressor is still the Ibanez CP-9 Compressor/Limiter.

Jeff,

Is the 325 a 6-string or a 12? How long did it take you to dial in that "sweet spot"? It took me just an hour or two to get my 330/12 chiming and singing. And my 360/12 with scatterwounds sounds even better, especially on the JangleBoost channel. I haven't really tried the Janglebox with my 6-string guitars, but I hope to soon. And the folks here seem to agree that the JB2 is great for direct recording, so my next project is going to be routing it directly into my digital workstation. Congratulations on joining the Janglebox society! I'm sure you'll get many years of pleasure out of your purchase.

I've recently acquired a Wampler Ego compressor and have been getting great results.
