I just did some test runs on my new Rocktron Big Crush compressor. It cost me $55. It had some nice heavy-duty casing.
Initial findings
1. The noise was very bearable! I would bet if you hate the noise of the Boss CS-3 you'll probably like the Big Crush.
2. The Sustain was useable from 0 to max! You can hear that your notes get that violin sustain without the irritating splatter of other compressor pedals. From what I have heard the MXR Dynacomp has this drawback, but I haven't compared them side by side yet.
3. The Attack was also very useable from minimum to maximum. Less means less churpy pick sounds; great for Allan Holdsworth/Greg Howe runs. With the Attack increased, I noticed that I get more aggressive picking dynamics. By doing some fast-picking, you can hear the churps but they don't get overpronounced.
4. The Level was very good at giving a clean boost to the guitar's sound. With low-output pickups like a Strat, you can get a tad more overdrive, somewhat like a TS9 in minimum gain and unity master volume - MINUS THE MID HUMP.
Overall, my initial assessment of this pedal makes me want to recommend this to those who want a greatly-designed compressor for a cheap price. Maybe I do need to A/B them with a Boss CS-3, Keeley Compressor, MXR Dynacomp, and other compressors you may have.
As for soundclips, I need at least 10 requests to demonstrate them... Or maybe video na lang?

i have both the CS-3 and the dynacomp, A/B time? hehehe. request #10 ako, i just love compressors, hahaha.

Ok, I hear you. Give me the weekend para makapagpa-pogi ako para sa video demo. Wait a minute, maybe I should also include lossless mp3s as well. Whatever works. The problem with video is the noticeable drop in sound quality after compressing.
Anyway, ok din sana kung makapag-A/B/C test ako with Kulas' Dynacomp and CS-3...

Sa mga nagtatanong kung saan makaka-bili, ask WHOLESALER kung meron sila. Minsan meron din sa Raon.
-
Dude, makakakuha ba ko ke Wholesaler ng bulk orders ng GTX pedals ? Planning to setup an ebay store ng premodded na Boston/GTX pedals e.
-
Don't know po kung sila distributor ng GTX pedals e.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong.. but doesn't Lazer have GTX products?

As far as I know, they don't/.

I like Rockron. The DEEP Blue chorus sounds nice and lush. Hindi ko lang gusto yung enclosures na ginagamit nila.

I second the motion. Gusto ko naman yung Hush pedal nila. Great noise reduction without noticeable tone suck til midway. Used to keep it on all the time. Kung kasing-laki lang ng MXR yung enclosure nila, sana di ko na siya pinakawalan.
