Jangle sound. Mostly in Rock/pop context. What guitars?

Indeed! One shouldn't be afraid to experiment and stray from convention. While I guess most of us don't own two or more comps in a pedal format, you can easily set up a signal chain with a comp in each end using plugins or a multi effects unit. The first one will box in the input and the second will even out frequency peaks from the amp, modulation, delays and reverb.

For recording I use the Klanghelm MJUC for pretty much everything except strings and synths. It sounds really awesome when applied aggressively to piano rhythm parts (think Adele for instance).

Well, I ordered myself a Jangle Box 50th ann edition I made an offer on and got not too expensively, so will have that, and my M9 with all its compression variants available. So, I can mess with that. Setting up the new "studio" in my new house so can do what I want there.

I am deciding I like a bit of high end, even on humbuckerish power pop-ish stuff, kinda like the Beths with Jonathan Pierce and his mini-humbuckers in his LP. I guess I like that bit of bright mixed in to whatever it is.

I guess there are lots of ways you can experiment with comps to achieve the jangle. Right now, as I'm typing, I'm working on a track using my LP with TV Jones Classics in the middle, 'jangle' position.

As you can see, I'm going directly into the high input of the brilliant channel in the virtual amp (the vib/trem channel is turned down), which will break up ever so slightly if I really dig in. Then I have the comp after the amp, so the output stays about the same no matter how soft or hard I play:

After that it's just hi-pass/lo-pass, delays and verb.

This may work, depending on the context, and I can't really tell before it sits in the mix.

Images did not show up for me but I like the concept.
