THE BIG SQUEEZE

This is the original transparent compressor built around the original circuit and specifications, but with some upgrades. First, the IN and OUT jacks are placed in typical pedal fashion. The originals sounded excellent, but were kind of awkward. They could only be used on guitars with flat input jack plates that weren't recessed. Strat users had to do some rewiring or were out of luck!! The reissues that are currently available are no different. Also, the originals were built around the 4558 chip, which has been changed in the reissue with a cheaper replacement- a practice that is unfortunately all too common in today's economy.
