Compression, anyone else here like using a tonne of it?

Becos Twain is the most full featured compressor I've found for complex routing options 

Looks heavy! Never seen that before - thanks!

Oh it's a beast.

 

Surprisingly easy to get great compression results from as it goes. 

 

Absolutely brilliant pedal

I like to maintain the dynamic integrity of my pick playing, I love how the single coil pickups react to every little nuance of my playing, and just want a tiny bit of high threshold, low rate, compression to enhance that as well as the attack slightly, rather than killing it, while leaving my dynamics all intact.

 

So no, definitely not for me.

 

Otherwise I might as well have played a bass synth with non touch sensitive keys or have my right hand replaced for a robotic prosthetic.

 

I know I sound harsh here, but I just discovered how sensitive and responsive true single coils are to picking dynamics and I love it, how expressive it allows you to be with your right hand, and I do realize big fat dynamically completely flat even bass notes do have their place in some specific music, just personally would make me feel crippled, if it was an always on thing at least.
