Small pedal, big impression
This pedal makes me sound better. Subtle optical compression, EQ knob comes handy when the compressor is placed after your drive pedals to bring treble back. What it does is that it makes your overall tone fuller on any setting without squashing it, even if you can't really hear the compression in effect (settings from 7:00 to 11:00). Around 2:00 you are getting to that squishy territory, but words can't describe how pleasant it sounds opposed to a Dynacomp.
Personaly, I like to have it after my dirt pedals, so I can still use the advantages of rolling down the volume knob on the guitar but also have balanced volume level. I definitely recommend to anyone who would love to have a compressor, but didn't like the squishiness of a Dynacomp.

Pumpkin Pie
Being a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, I love this pedal. When compared to the classic NYC reissue, this has more balls especially when you bypass the tone circuit. Build quality is solid as usually, though the sound is a one trick pony, you either love or hate Muffs. You have to play it into the clean channel, no amp gain or drive at all, unless you want the notes to choke.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Volume - 14:00 Tone - OFF Sustain - anywhere from 13:00 to max
Avg price: $245.99

It's so good I have it twice on my board.
If DD-3 is a fantastic delay, DD-7 is quadruplesuperdupermegahyperultrastic and much more. Built to last, easy to use with some fantastic modes to choose. Tap tempo function with subdivisions works great, especially if you have two delays like I do.
Mooer Ensemble King Analog Chorus
Avg price: $74.25
"..get to the chorus already!"
I had a CH-1 Super Chorus clone by Behringer (UC-200), but I after some time I decided to try a different chorus sound. I bought this little Mooer based on various reviews and they were definitely correct - this is a fantastic chorus, a clone of the legendary CE-2.
The enclosure is small yet sturdy, two small knobs for setting the level of chorus effect and depth, one large knob for rate. To be honest, the rate knob is quite sensitive and you could change it even by touching it slightly. This is the only thing that's somewhat "bad", but the rest is only positive things.
Sound is full, great for compressed slightly overdriven lead playing (think current James Dean Bradfield, Johnny Marr), blends well with the distortion. Also, this pedal is dead silent. UC-200 could get similar tones, but I felt that something was lacking. Ensemble King provides that "something" plus sounds great, functions well and is cheap. I definitely recommend.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Level: 3:00, Depth 1:00, Rate 11:00
Avg price: $96.47
