Ogre PP0004GR Squash Compressor Effects

Bought a Tremoloid and the Squash Compressor and a Full Tilt Boost. The Tremoloid is a nice pedal, and also has a boost knob that really gives a nice oomph and bite to your tone. Being able to close the lid and protect your settings is a nice feature also. There isn't a lot of adjustability: you get speed and depth and the aforementioned boost, and you can turn off the tremolo and just use the pedal as a booster. Simple but sounds good. I think it's way overpriced at 159 but I took a chance when it was 44 for a day. The prices on the Ogre pedals fluctuate like crazy.The Boost was bought from Amazon's returned merchandise marketplace at a very reduced price. I will probably return it. For one thing, it claims that turning the tone knob up causes a treble boost, but it doesn't. At full on it is the same as normal treble, turning the knob down reduces the treble. Technically it's a treble reducer. Also there is a level knob and a boost knob, but they do the same things. I assumed that since there were 2 gains that they would cascade into each other, and that that would cause there to be some overdrive introduced into the signal. That isn't the case, as they are both clean boosts, and turning either or both up just gives you more clean boost. It is an ungodly amount of clean boost with both maxed, much more than anyone would ever need, so I'm not sure why they did this.Actually I do suspect that they had 3 holes to fill on the pedal, hence the level control. It is a good clean boost, but that's all it does and really not worth the regular price they are asking.The compressor was sent back. I don't know if it was defective or poorly designed, but there was little effect for 90% of the dial and then all the effect and a huge volume drop in the remaining 10%. I have a Keeley and 2 other comps and they don't behave in this manner. I'd like to hear from Ogre about this as I hate to give a crappy review on what may be a defective pedal. Hopefully it was a defect, but if not, I would suggest not purchasing it.All in all, I find the pedals to be unique looking but they all look about the same so good luck stomping on the right one in a dark bar after a few beers. The covers that close are useful, but the pedals all seem to have the bare minimum of features.Update 9/3/2017: The ogre pedals are now at clearance prices so I bought a few more and rebought the squash compressor, thinking maybe the first one was defective. Well, it behaved in the same manner as the first. The compression is at the end of the dial, very little until then and then it comes on suddenly with a huge volume drop, but It can be adjusted to sound decent. The delay has a nice analog sound even though it is digital, the distortion pedal is capable of a good range of sounds from overdrive to metal. The pedals are now selling in the 20-40 dollar range and at that price they may qualify as a steal.

This is one warm sounding delay pedal. It sounds musical probably due to the PT2399 chip or the right type electronic components in it. It is one of the more lush, transparent and warm sounding delay tones from what is currently available. Simple three knobs time, repeat and mix with true bypass circuitry house in an ancient Egyptian coffin looking enclosure made from magnesium. Thinking to get another one so I can set one with a short delay time to blend it with another set with a longer delay

With active pickups, this thing distorts and is unusable unless the pickups are allowed to pass through an amp first. In the effects loop it works fine, though it does seem to have very little effect prior to the last 20% of the dial. I got it for $30 on sale and for that price it's good. If you wish to spend more on a compressor I would consider other options that can tolerate different inputs volumes better.

Decent sounding compared to other high end distortions. Looks cool. Best feature is cover over adjustments. Slightly overpriced.

LOOKS COOL, SOLID AS A ROCK, DECENT RANGE, FEEDBACK IS AWESOME WHEN CONTROLLED. OTHERWISE A PRETTY BASIC PEDAL, CLEAR SOUND

Power cord not included

Awesome. Pure awesome.

Solid, big sound and big range!
