That is true. Never do what I do if you expect to get paid. My last known use of a comressor outside of the house was in a loop by itself with a Gizmotron.

Hi Gino, et al,It's fine to experiment with your compressor placement; there's no hard rule as to what should go where in a signal chain. The "conventional wisdom" though, IF you're at all concerned with noise, is that anything in the chain before the compressor that creates ";system noise" or anything else (Heaven help you if it's a distortion or overdrive!), will be exacerbated greatly and uncontrollably when it hits the compressor. IF that's effect you want, absolutely go for it, but it may also be a good way to empty a club or cost you a session! Just sayin'... (-:Cheers,Berington
