Ingo,
Just a note of thanks for a thorough analysis of compressors and MK’s rig. I’m a guitar player who performed for over 30 years acoustically and have been exploring the electric guitar for the last ten. I’m enamored with MK’s sound and have had many questions as to how he achieved it.

Thanks again for your amazing commitment to unravel what he does and has done over the years.

Best regards,
Jim

Please find 3 links about the Orange Squeezer made by AnalogMan where you can find explanations in details by a man who knows what he is talkin’ about.
I own the “Large BiComp” and i must say that it’s awesome.
In fact the OS side is always on on my pedal board.

Jean

To me the sound with a comp is not as good with the strat straight to my fender amp, while it is a true bypass (dan comp). It thins out a bit my tone and add treble.. So I don’t use it to get closer old Mark’s tone.
