Okay so heres the story, I use a lot of Wah on my clean channel, which is at a moderate volume. The problem is, since my amp is tube when I strike the strings hard and the wah is back, I distort very easily and it does not sound pleasent.

Will a compressor solve my problem? I really dont need anything for my distorted channel, I just want my clean sound more evened out and limited, so it wont distort.

I've heard great things about the carl martin compressor, however I don't have that much money, I can get a Boss CS-3 for $58.

What do you all think?
