NPD. Think I need a bigger board now.

This beauty arrived on Monday. Just had chance for a proper play with it and I'm very impressed.

Nice! Congrats, beautiful pedal

Interested to see the rest of the board

It's a fab compressor. It's worth running at 18v if you haven't already. A make everything better pedal.

Jonathanthomas83

Agree with @Teetonetal completely, 18v all the way. Found my LD-1 buffer sounds better after it too. if you have a buffer of some kind, worth experimenting.

I've watched countless videos on this pedal and love it. Definitely a future purchase.

Great pedal.

if you want even MORE compressor sexytime try the transformer model.

You'll be needing one of these extendable boards then lol

@Jonathanthomas83 Here's the full thing.

I need to sort an 18v supply. I can run it at 12v from my Cioks supply but need an extra cable which I also don't have at the mo. I also have an old Gigrig daisychain under there too which is running the JRAD Tim Pierce and the Cali76 at the moment. It took a while to sort the quietest combination of supplies and positioning. The Strymons are a bit picky on both counts so after a lot of experimentation the Strymons and the TU3 are on the Cioks at 9v then the Riot on the Cioks at 12v and the JRAD and Cali on the Gigrig at 9v.

I've had to kick my Thorpy Gunshot off the board for the time being as a) It's the same footprint as the Cali so an easy swap and b) I've only used it at a gig once in 12 months. This is down to the gigs I'm getting at the mo where I don't need the sound the Gunshot does as much, where as the JRAD and Riot are in use virtually every gig I do. I certainly won't be getting rid of the Gunshot though as it covers a lot of ground the other two drives don't and it'd be a simple quick change to swap the Gunshot and the Cali76 over again if the gigs come up where I need it.

The Cali76 is just brilliant, even at 9v its transparency compared to any other compressors I've tried is in a different league. I'd love to have tried the big box version but as it's now discontinued and also massive it wasn't really an option. @Teetonetal it really is a "make everything better" pedal!

@nickb_boy very clever idea!

@Rowby1 lovely board mate...big fan of the Riot too!

@Rowby1 gigrig do the "doubler" and 1 spot have just released a voltage doubler cable, for use with 9v and 12v.

Thanks mate. Yes the Riots great and it stacks with the Tim Pierce really well too.
