Shall I compare thee to a channel strip?
Thou art more portable and compact.
Modular pedalboards do clutter the stage at one's feet,
And rackmounted processors hath too high a price tag.
Sometimes too harsh my jazz bass sounds,
'Specially when his volume pots are dim'd;
And times are clean is too clean by far;
S'when I kick your distortion in.
And thou needest not an insert point;
As a compressor integral do you sport.
Thy truest bypass, and housing robust,
Gives me lead to take thee a-touring with.

Dude, that was totally like a sonnet.
