Well, I got my CompROSSor in today. It is one fantastic piece of machinery. When I first plugged it in, the feedback was enormous. That was my fault..I had turned some of the knobs too high. Now that I have it fixed ("Sustain" all the way, Volume at about 8 o'clock, and Attack right at 12 o'clock), this thing is amazing. Before, when I'd use my TS9 and this new amp I have, the combination was very hot, and powerful, but it could hurt your ears REALLY quickly. Not now...the Comprossor smooths things out, bringing every note to your ear, and with the TS9 set to full drive, it is beautifully crunchy. I love it, and I've only been using it for about 30 minutes. Wow is all I have to say. It is a huge improvement to my setup. Before, with just the TS9, my chords were too crunchy and loud to play a lot of rhythm, forcing me to do lead (which I didn't mind at all...but it's nice to have chords back). Now the chords are crunchy, yet soft, a perfect sound I must say. When I spoke to Mike (Analog Mike, http://www.analogman.com), he said that they were really busy last week, and a couple of his guys were sick, so that is why it took so long to get here. Well, it was worth the wait. Wow. I can't stop saying wow. It's THAT amazing. It fixes those up the fretboard B and E string notes that used to hurt your ears. Just fantastic. I'll take any and all questions.

EDIT: I played that note in Divided Sky, right before the band stops playing, before the solo by Trey, where he used to hold the note...and I held it for a good minute or so. It's great.
