Hm, interesting. The thing is, i never used a compressor, b/c i 
still don´t have an external FX-unit, which i wanted to by next year 
(BOSS VF-1)...
But speaking of compressor, didn´t the AN1x has a compressor 
algorithm? But oh you can´t use it then together with 
the "overdriven" one...Hm...sorry for the stupid question but, what 
exactly does the compressor do with my sound? What ratio, etc. do i 
choose for what result?
