Thanks guys,
Looking at a CS1 boss,am I on the right track?

Usually a tiny bit of distortion will do it. Try a Boss SD-1 or Blues Driver, on low-gain.

That’s a good one! I seem to remember liking the CS2 a bit better. The attack control on the CS2 is useful and I think it had more volume.

Just stay away from the CS3!

How squishy do you like your compressors?

 

[dignlivn]

I'm not sure, I'm a guitar into amp kind.
Lol.

I have one.

They get a bad rep but I like it for certain things. It makes a great boost too. It will sustain, but that comes with the price of more noise. But I really prefer it with modest settings just to kill the peaks on a clean tone. It's no API lol, which gets much more play these days.

I use a MOOG MF Delay as an always on pedal. I set it for a slight slapback and back off the mix until the delay is almost nonexsistant. Then I bump up the DRIVE a bit which is a built in boost. It hits my amp nice and the delay thickens up my tone. Very nice singing sustain.
