Compressor and Overdrive in one box?

Post by rickenbackerkid »

Pedal gurus - I have a Boss CS-2 in my tribute band rig and it occurred to me that it would add a lot of flexibility to have something in that spot that can do overdrive as well as compression. Apart from the expensive fancy stuff like the Strymons and Jackson Audio, is there any other pedals that can do overdrive and compressor in a small-ish size?

This is great. Compressor, boost and OD.

Don’t have any experience with how they sound but I’d imagine lots of the cheap brands will have something, like this Nux one here with a boost but still in the ball park. https://www.musicplanet.co.nz/nux-nbk-5 ... gK-rvD_BwE

The strymon compressor says boost but it has an overdrive mode iirc. First thing that comes to mind

That looks excellent! and remote switching jack would be very helpful!

That’s the correct choice. The toilet style ones are stupid
