Hi all I am looking for a decent afforable compressor pedal (sub £100) as I have seen plenty of compressors but most going for quite a lot of money , any suggestions

I can recommend an Art Leveler tube comp, or alternatively I have an Akai Hexacomp multi-band compressor i'm thinking of selling

I recently got a Aphex Punch Factory. Its the best comp pedal I have tried to date. Very simple to use. Seems to do the job very well.

I like my Behringer BLE100 Bass Limiter pedal. A bargain at £20.

based on these reviews: (edit- for some reason the URL keeps changing when I submit it. but its on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=337"]this[/url] page, post #7 ) id suggest the BBE Opto Stomp.

cheapest i've found it is £71 shipped from an ebay store:

hope this helps

Although I don't have myself, the Aphex Punch Factory is very highly rated. Bass Player magazine included it it its 'products of the year' a while back

if it's really affordable you're after, I have a GLX Limiter/Enhancer that cost me around £30 from ebay. It's a straight clone of the Boss LMB-3 in the same kind of way as the Behringer, only it's in a decent solid metal box.

Yes, there are the design ethics things to bear in mind, and all that kinda business, but if it's just a straight cheap pedal you want, you can't go wrong with these.
