It is really hard to play Brick House and get it to sound consistently good... with a spanky clean sound, I find I have to concentrate so hard on my touch, it's just exhausting. Anyway, I am contemplating getting my very first compressor.
This. As Dan from TPS says, "compression is like overdrive for you clean tone".
In saying that, the compressor in the Silver Pistol Damn & Blast is the first and only comp I've ever really liked as an always-on pedal. Doesn't take anything away, but tone always sounds better on.
Nothing to see here.

Single cut basses. Even the mega expensive boutique basses, Fodera and the like.

Having said that, I'm not a big fan of boutique basses in general. Ten grand plus for a bass just seems obscene to me. Probably because I can't afford them.

Timmy pedal, everyone loves it! I think it’s ok at best.
And yes I own a real one and have built a few too.
I’d actually take a Tubescreamer over it these days, assuming that’s going into an Edge of breakup amp.
Hate tube screamers into clean amps.

Yeah not a fan of the single cut look but not actually played one

I’ll definitely be getting a proper MTD at some point. Hopefully will be less than 10K
