Ibanez CP-9

I'm trying out an Ibanez CP-9 to replace the cheapo Danelectro compressor I've been using. Anyone tried one of these? What settings seem to work best for you?

No settings worked for me on that pedal. I ended up throwing it across the stage during a gig. Best thing I ever did with that pedal. Wonder if it's still there?

huh...maybe that's the one that I got...

It seems to do the clean-boost thing ok and brings out the twang, but it's also really bright (the last thing I need). I need to fool around with it some more, I think.

I've had a few of the CP9 pedals, I like the CP9 as much as the Boss CS2 , better than the Boss CS3 and MXR Dynacomp.
Settings - just play around with it, depends on what you're looking for, you can get a good clean boost , or crank it up more sustain.
Mostly I like compression for playing clean at low to moderate volumes, but for Blues , R&R , I don't use it much at all and especially at volume when playing live with tube amps it doesn't work for me.
The Dano compressor is a MXR clone, I had one and thought it was a decent unit.
