Turn it down and I'm still feeling a bit like I'm dealing with the
compressor making the sound more disconnected -- I wouldn't expect a
compressor to introduce latency -- but it also does very nice things to
provide a little more body to my guitars and the Philosopher's Tone into
the Swollen Pickle is a lovely combination.

It definitely doesn't like thicker plugs. The Monster guitar cable I play
with is known to be a bit of a tight fit for some jacks. It won't even
come close to working with the jacks on the Philosopher's Tone.
