Mine doesn't click, and my intuition is that that's not nomal. If you contact Robert he'll tell you if it's a defect or not, and I'm sure he'll make it right. That guy rocks. A++ customer service. Every custom guy should be so nice, quick with product turnaround, and great with the before/after sale service! :) Actually there's a few good guy's out there, Robert's just a great example. :D

Hi VA Man.
I replied to your post on the temporary TDPRI, and wasn't sure about mine. Guess what? It does click. Clicks when I turn it on, and clicks when I turn it off. Never bothered me before. Bothers me now, though.. :roll: Thanks! :D
I guess it doesn't really bug me, though. I don't turn it on or off during a song, it's either ON or OFF. I keep trying to like it, it works great. I just generally hate compressors. I really bought it to use with my pedal steel, but it found its way into my Tele rig. I play with it for a while, then put it away. Trouble is, when I want more volume I tend to hit the strings with more force, then the compressor does its job, and I get nothin' extra. Kinda defeats half of my playing style. On the PSG, however, I am less experienced, and it saves me from drastic volume shifts from note to note. This is a big help to me, as I don't have the right hand control that I should. Best compressor I ever hated. :shock:
