Very robust pedal. I've owned it for 2 years now and gigged with it extensively in that time. Has held up very well and looks like it's going to last. Unlike most pedals the paint has seemed to stay fairly in tact despite being consistently weathered and beaten by the bottom of my foot.
Sound wise it is what you would expect from a standard compressor except it includes an attack knob which allows you to accommodate for whether your guitar has low or high output pickups. I find this especially useful as I often switch between a Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul depending on the gig.
One criticism I have of this pedal is it sometimes pops when engaged or disengaged. Perhaps it is just my particular model but I find if I just press it a few times prior to performing with the amp off it gets rid of this issue. However, during performances I tend to use very light compression and not go near it anyway so it's not a huge issue for me.
At first it might take a while to get use to the attack knob but overall I think for the price this compressor is a serious deal. Would highly recommend!

Mostly great
I chose this instead of the DynaComp because I wanted the Attack control.
It mostly does what a compressor should and it cover all of the non-insane compression range.
The only gripe I have with it is that the first attack when you start playing is always quite loud (since it has no reference to know it should cut it), but that's not a big deal at all.
It's incredibly solid and has not caused any trouble in 7 years.

In my case, this pedal is for home use, recording on my Mac, plugged Guitar>>pedals>>Balance>>Mac, or Guitar>>pedals>>Vox amp and recording with Mic>>Balance>>Reason.
It’s nice for clean sounds, easy to get U2 Edge sound if you are into that. Personally I use it for distorted and overdrive sounds to make them different and original. It helps for with sustain and sounds sick with an E-bow effect.
Had it for a short while now so no problems but I don’t expect any because it looks very well and simply built.
The only complaint I would have at this moment is the position of adapter connection, it is on the right side of the pedal and I prefer it to be on the top side.
