The reason I ask is that I have a Ibanez BP10 stomper that I don't use much at the moment, and I've been thinking about adding a compressor to my pedalboard (for guitar). The BP10 has three knobs, for Attack, Sustain and Level. Could I use that one with good result or should I look for something made specifically for guitars? I use my pedal baord mainly for gigs and rehersals. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Anyway, any recommendations for a good compressor? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Would a bass compressor be noticeable used with a guitar? A lot of bass effects are cool used with guitars. Would it say, tighten up your bottom end? Or do nothing noticeable?
