not mounting the cioks?
Yeah, I have to have everything neat and tidy. I don't go as far as measuring the spaces between the pedals with a ruler, but I have been tempted to.

I just eye-gauge it. Most of my pedals have top-mounted jacks, but I can't put them edge to edge. I don't have an accurate foot so I distance one from another.

with the ratio set at 2? or 1 as well? you dont have a quick sound clip by any chance?
compressors can be designed to let in a certain millisecond amount of the attack pass through before compressing the signal, to retain more of the sound character, but other guitar compressor pedals i have dont have any 'pop' on clean sounds.
is it when hitting hard chords?
I do have a clip on my phone of me jamming over a loop I made, but I haven't uploaded it yet. It's 3 minutes long and my upload speeds are so slow that it would take around eight hours to complete, and if my connection is lost I lose all progress, and that can happen with a phone. When I go to my sisters place next time I'll upload it there. Actually I'll probably make a better demo because I was just rambling with the one on my phone now. The sound quality won't be great, but it shouldn't be too bad.
It compresses with the ratio set to 1, but it doesn't 'pop' or crush the signal. It can pop slightly when you play heavily, but that is mostly allocated to the Ratio 2 setting. It's a cool sound, but not 'subtle' like so many prefer their compressors to be. I dig the squishy attack with loud volumes and dirt from another source, but on a clean setting and lower volumes it's not as musical. That's when I turn the Ratio and/or Pad down to 1 or 0.
