I'm also on the search for a good compressor at the moment....
I've got a Tech 21 bass compactor, which I've had for a while now...... but I've realised, after putting it under the microscope at a studio session recently, that it's not a particularly good one...[i] (noisy , distorts easily etc....)[/i]
After the usual Tinternet research..(!) [b]the Demeter compulator[/b], [b]EBS multicomp[/b] & the [b]Maxon CP-9 pro+[/b] seem to get good revues & are in the price bracket I would be able to afford at the moment....
[i]but as always, other peoples opinions may not be relevant when it comes to your own set up & way of playing.... [/i]
gotta start somewhere though.......
I'm intrigued by the [b]U-sound Hipp'o comp[/b] & the [b]Fratone Sandwich[/b] & would like to find out more about the [b]Dave Hall [/b]one...
(...prolly coz of the [i]preeety coloured boxes![/i]... I'm a bit of a sucker for a pretty box !)
anyone have any experience of these?...
So today I tried out the[b] T-Rex compa nova[/b] & a[b] Mad Professor forest green comp[/b] in Jam Guitars, a little boutique shop in Bristol......
the T-Rex was, [i]as others have stated[/i], not very impressive... the mad prof was more versatile but at £250 I wasn't convinced my life would be better for purchasing it!.......
I bid on Ebay for a Demeter Comp but stopped at £140....[i] (heck, they're £199 new!) [/i] it went for £142...!!!! did anyone from here get it?
finding this thread pretty useful....... cheers all!
So the search goes on.....
