    Reinhardt Vintage Fifty

    Flippy Floppy pup...aack!

    Compression Question

    A good friend of mine just gave me a couple of his pedels he wasn't using that much. An old Boss CS-1 compression sustainer and a Menatone Howie.."sweet". Anyway, for those of you that dig a little compression, where the heck does it sit in the chain of effects?
