Best electric guitar compression effects according to redditors

Honestly, my best advice would be to invest in a good compressor. I lot of people feel like their tone is dead and not going anywhere of any particular interest until they purchase a compressor. It's the pedal you never know you needed. It will change your life, just like it changed mine.

That said: Keeley Compressor Deep Six and the Diamond are all amazing options. The Diamond is probably a little too bulky for what you want.

But that's what I'd do, if I were you.

That's why I love the Deep Six Compressor so much. Blend knob is easily the best feature to retain dynamics.

prior to making a recommendation I'll first say this: if you're even vaguely happy with your tone, then leave the pedals out.

my top 3:

• compression: telecasters sometimes need a controlled attack. a decent cheap compressor pedal would be an mxr dynacomp. the one i use most frequently is the bicomp. The most popular (and another I really like): the jhs pulp n peel. I've heard nice things about keeley but never tried them myself.
  
  
• overdrive: i'm not huge on distorted guitar sounds. many times, particularly in recording applications i feel a little goes a long way. I bought this (zvex sho) some yrs ago and haven't needed much else. there are so many options available, some are more than likely better than this zvex pedal, so try a few different ones out.
  
  
• delays/verbs: lots of different opinions here. ppl love the strymon big sky, myself included. nice inifinites and blooms. i more frequently use whatever spring tank is on the amp in question. delays are tricky for me. i've payed a lot for an assortment but my go to is still the 1st I ever bought: the boss dd3, much to my own surprise I love this pedal. even after trying different boutique options, the dd20/dd7, and the moog analog delay, I still prefer my dd3. you may disagree tho.
  
  hope that wasn't too much and hope you get dope tones!
