I am looking at getting a delay and compressor/sustainer. I have always liked BOSS and have stuck with them, but I've looked at Digitech's website and like the sounds of both these pedals. What do you think?

the digitechs are pretty decent. they're really only good at low volumes and i wouldn'y reccomend you use them live. when i tried them they sounded pretty good, but again at low volumes. i love my gt6 it sounds great at any level and i think is much better live
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

Some like boss, some like digitech, some like line 6, etc. Seems to me that Boss stuff is better made, and in general, better. Some people disagree.

I've read some reviews on Harmony Central and alot of people say they just stop working, so ya, I'm going for BOSS.

But, I am looking at getting a compressor/sustainer and I've heard BOSS is noisy, any alternatives?
