I actually haven't used it that much. Not because it doesn't work, it's just that I haven't ever needed it...

(I want my box to look great and not have fitment issues later, etc...). So i've searched a lot of sites and considered buying a custom box. But the prices are just OUT OF THIS WORLD! Plus, one company (who shall remain nameless) couldn't even even understand my design...even with pictures and diagrams!
Luckily, I found Pacific Pedalworks and am working with them to get my box done. Check out Ryanspeer's sig and he will answer you with great explanations. One heck of a great guy. The prices are very reasonable and you can see the quality in the pic above. Give him a shout!! I can't wait till my box comes in!!

Where do you get your stomp switches? I found a place locally that sells a great DPDT for only $2.45 , but I can't find 3PDT's for less than 12$ anywhere.

Answer:
here's the compressor i just finished yesterday. The paint got messed up when i sprayed clear laquer on it, and I mislabeled the one pot. It's a VERY quiet compressor. I wish it were just slightly more squishy, because there's not a tremendous boost in sustain, but it works and sounds extremely transparent. Doesn't color the sound, it just compresses it mildly. Works great for a lead boost or rythm cut depending on how you set the volume.
