I was just typing as you posted, see my thoughts above.

I use an MXR M87, but I’ve always fancied a Cali76 because of their reputation. However, the colour that the old version added was potentially an issue, so didn’t get one. Then they brought out the new version, that is less coloured and has a more informative VU, oh, oh, GAS ahead! Then I realised that an uncoloured Cali76, with a row of LEDs is pretty much an M87 (they are both based on the Urei 1176), but with a couple more bells and whistles (dry/wet blend for instance). So I’m sticking with the MXR (at least for now) and saving a few bob. My own compressor journey came about via a recording session, during lockdown. I sent a friend of mine, who owned a FOH company and often ran the board himself (with terrific results, best sound engineer I’ve encountered and also does pro recordings for others) a copy of the recording. He suggested some very subtle comp settings, which I applied and the way the bass sat so much better in the mix was striking. Straight away I researched comp pedals and have had the M87 on my board since.

Fishing line or strong thread attached to the pots and switch work like the tubing hack, tying all the ends together, before removal, stops the lines accidentally pulling all the way through.

Is that just the listing fee or are they not charging their commission as well now (can't see that happening, but who knows?). EDIT: Looks like it is gratis (up to 300 lists per month)

It's a Stagg Fusion model and is also available in short scale (30") and that does look like it might be a SS. Price seems OK (eBay have a couple around the £135-£200 mark). Stagg stuff is entry level, but normally quite serviceable. Short scales aren't a bad place to start and there is a real trend towards folk using them more and more, myself included.

I would but I other pressing matters to attend to.

Not everyone here is on Facebook, can you post a picture?
