The DigiTech XMS Main Squeeze Compressor Sustainer is a compressor and sustain pedal from DigiTech's X series, delivering compression with extended sustain suitable for lead playing and clean guitar dynamics control. Controls include Squeeze (compression amount), Level (output volume), and Tone for adjusting brightness under compression. The Main Squeeze was DigiTech's dedicated compressor in the X series lineup.
The Rocktron Reaction Compressor is part of the company's Reaction series, a line of straightforward analogue effect pedals built to cover standard functions at accessible prices. As a compressor its job is evening out dynamics and adding sustain. Rocktron built its reputation on rack processors and the HUSH noise reduction system before moving into compact pedals. Independent review coverage of this specific pedal is limited, so this description does not assert control layout or circuit specifics that sources do not establish.
