Carl Martin's new Honey-Comp takes its lead from their own Compressor-Limiter but condenses all of the goodness down into something a little less needy where pedalboard space is concerned. Anyone into the concept of parallel compression processing in the studio will appreciate the 'Dry' control which allows you to do just that - mix in some dry signal, in parallel, with the compressed sound. If you wish to retain your transients (i.e. initial dry attack), 'Dry' is your friend. The Honey-Comp is a very smooth ride with plenty of make-up gain (Level) on tap too - more than enough to let the pedal be used as a boost for your amp or drives, etc., up the signal path. 10/10.
