What do yall use as fav settings for the Compressor and OD.  I like to run my DynaComp's volume at unity with my amps and the sustain in between 6 O'clock and 9 O'clock. For my overdrive i use 2 Boss OD3's. From my Dunlop Wah's output i run OD3 number 1 which is set with volume maxed, Tone at !2 O'clock, and Drive at 7 O'clock. The Second is set with Volume maxed, Tone at 12 O'clock, and Drive at 5 O'clock. The 1st OD3 is mainly used as my main overdrive pedal set as a boost. The 2nd OD3 is set for boosting the output of the 1st OD3 along with pushing through the DynaComp for increased sustain.

My sustain on my ross clone is usually hovering around the 2:00 mark, while my volume can vary.  It's not unusual to run it at 10:30 but I've played lots of shows where I run it around 2:00 as well.  My signa drive is a loud pedal, designed for stage use, the gain is usually at 11ish while my level never really comes above 10:00.  By the way, while I'm at it, if anyone has ever pondered getting a Signa Drive from cmatmods, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.....

My TS808 (the one set for heavier overdrive) has the drive at about 5 o'clock, the tone at about 3 o'clock, and the volume at about 10 o'clock.  The TS9 has drive at 9 o'clock, tone at 3 o'clock, and volume also at 10 o'clock. 

Without looking I can't remember what my settings are for my Keeley 4knob comp.
