Being and old tw*t, I realise old school = vintage but I don't know what that means in terms of compression. I understand 'old school' when it comes to tone but I don't understand the concept of old school compression.
I think it'll be at least 3 weeks before I stop kicking myself for selling the Multicomp.[/quote]
Same sort of thing the concept of it is the same as a lot of older amps like the SVT's etc people want to sound like they did back in the 60's and 70's so a EBS MUlticomp won't achieve this as it is much more hifi. A Ross clone or Orange Squeeze clone will. Generally tonewise old school compression is hard to explain, generally its more of an effect than just limiting like Tony Levin uses an Orange Squeeze clone to get those very percussive tones he gets with Peter Gabriel it also got that vintage mojo/vibe to it bit of treble roll off smooth I don't know how to describe it really but my Jazz with Flats if I crank my OS Clone it can cop those motown soundsd whereas I could never do that with the Demeter, Rane, EBS etc etc.
