Looking for Compressor Pedals
Hey everyone, I am looking to start research on a few compressor pedals but I'm not exactly sure where to begin. Anyone know where i should start? Most of the stuff Im looking eventually own is higher end boutique equipment.

For electric guitar and no budget in mind really. Looking for higher end gear so I'm already assuming its going to be pricey. But money isn't the issue, i just want to compare and contrast between the best compressor pedals available.
oooOoOo no budget - fun :D
Ok jokes aside, here are some boutique-ish ones I would look at:
Xotic Effects SP Compressor Pedal
In the $130 range, rarely ever see anything but glowing reviews for this thing. Supposedly built to resemble the Ross Compressor.
$200-ish, pretty high end, lots of country guys use it.
$170, really good quality, has a grit knob which some people produce cool sounds with.
Thanks man, these are all great suggestions! Ive been doing a bit of research on them and I think I'm leaning slightly towards the Xotic SP.
I'd recommend the Xotic as well. Very transparent and sounds great at either end of the dial and everywhere in between. Good luck with your search!
Awesome stuff guys, Ill definitely be looking into all these suggestions. Just from online videos Im liking how the Xotic is sounding and money v. boardspace it seems like it might be my first try. I might head into a guitar center pretty soon and give it a try.
