The Analog Man Juicer Compressor Pedal is a clone of the classic Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer, legendary for its smooth compression and "squashing" tone as used on many Steely Dan (My Old School by Jeff Baxter etc), Doobie Brothers, Dire Straits (Sultans Of Swing), and other classic albums. The Juicer can also be used as a clean boost. It is not transparent (it adds a bit of grit and of course compression) but it may be just what you need.
