Compressor stuff here:

Where is usually the preferred place to put a compressor in a signal chain? The toys that I have to work with are a Danelectro Wasabi OD plus some BYOC pedals and those are the Shredmaster, Distortion+, and the 5-knob compressor.

edit: I just looked this up, and it seems the Fuzz Factory has a Si BJT input buffer, not a FET. It is the SHO and Box of Rock (and other SHO based stuff) that uses MOSFETs. I guess a BJT buffer could load a guitar's pickups, so I stand corrected unless someone can back me up.

Thats correct. Messing with the bias resistors on a BJT can cause lots of added load on the input. FETs (especially MOSFETs) area a lot easier to work with if, for example, you're building a push-pull amplifier since they're much simpler to bias.

Since I run a lot of gain in my setup, I'm looking at noise gates and suppressors. What are some that you guys have used and what did you think about them?

Apologies if this has already been asked, but could someone explain how BBE's Sonic Maximizer works?
