Yay! The mailman brought #4 today. Sadly I only had 5 minutes to play with it. Using my PRS SC250 with Pearly Gates through a Swart AST MKII, I noticed an improvement over the Forest Green Compressor that I used to have. The first thing I was surprised about is how silent it is, even at max compression. If memory serves me right, I think the PGC sounds warmer and less stiff than the FCG even at 9 Volts. I used to run the FGC at 12 and 18 Volts. Also note that I have never used a BJFE PGC so I can't comment on how the Bearfoot version compares.
I also had a Himmelstrutz Miss Nutrcracker for a while. It was a great comp but I ended preferring the warmness of the Effectrode.
I did not get to try the PGC alongside the Effectrode so still note sure how they compare but I think the Effectrode is a tad warmer. However, I was powering the PGC with a 9 Volts plug so i'm hoping that it will get warmer once I use higher voltage.
Has anybody else received theirs? If so, what are your thoughts?
