How do you rate that compressor? :)

It's been on every single iteration of my pedalboard going back to at least 2014 (when I started taking photos of my boards) and probably earlier. This is despite the fact that it takes up as much room as two normal size pedals and has rather inconvenient power requirements. So you could say I kind of like it. ;)

When I bought it I was just going to use it to even out the slap tones, but I ended up liking what it did for my tone so much that I left it "always on", and it's been on ever since.

Same here - the Compressore is my always on since I bought it (think it was 120€ B-stock) - and the only electronic between bass and amp.
 
I owned a Compressore too. Great pedal, not as tuby sounding as I was looking for at that particular moment.
Only reason I got rid of it is its large footprint and dedicated 12v psu. A pedal has to be very special in order to have such a big footprint. The compressore is not.

Not saying I don't like it - just it doesn't make enough difference to take up that much space on my tiny pedalboard. Well and I do like the Cali76cb more with its comping and hpf functionalities.
Then again, the Cali costs a fortune.
 
It's been too long... Here's an extremely noisy f*cker of a pedalboard:

Tune, comp, dirt + very dirt, extremely bizarre jack white dirt.
 
I have never been into the "all-in-one" idea for pedalboards. I'm an old school guy and single pedals have always been my "thing"...

I currently broke with my single-pedal tradition and so far, I haven't even needed to break open the manual to have fun with this one (yet)...

Boss GT-1... very small, fits in my Levy's 200-series gig bag pouch, and there are a TON of How-To videos on YouTUbe for this pedalboard...

Phatty has earned its place and is always on because it spices up everything (clean tone is now slightly grimey) and makes the Giygas and YYZ pack more punch as well.

From left to right: YYZ does Fallout Boy, Giygas does POTUS and Beastie Boys, Phatty does everything, Plasma Coil does Blur and is by far the raunchiest, filthiest sounding fuzz pedal to ever have existed on any planet so thank you Jack White (it is also gated so no feedback going on on stage this I stay tight as phuk and can do staccato stuff with it).

Hey @DiMarco - how dirty can the PPB get? I'm looking for an OD pedal that can do low-medium gain at the most but there really aren't many demos online for it.
I'm looking for something that can do low mid push\growl without fizz or clank.
Can the Phatty do it?

It depends a bit on which bass you use with it, But that is what it does with my Ric and with the Fodera (Jazz) when dialing the pickup blend more towards the neck pickup.
Check out this fragment with a P. First he demos clean tone and then the overdrive the Phatty gives to a nice round bass tone.



I agree other demos of the pedal on YT are mostly useless so I took a bit of a gamble. Besides being capable of overdrive the pedal fattens up your tone in a really nice way without getting blurry.
 
... been getting into pedals since the first lockdown (in the UK) and have a few now in the collection. Ended up getting a few Pedaltrain boards (8 in total, not all built up) and realised I maybe had too many when I was considering getting No. 9 lol. So those are going to be sold and I got a couple of D'addario XPND boards (1 and 2). The XPND 1 is used for gigging and church stuff and the XPND 2 is going to be for home sonic adventures lol. Here is a pic of the XPND 2 fully expanded and a few of the pedals mounted (but needing power and patch)
