Compression

I'm looking to spend as much as needed on a compressor - split between getting a rack mounted unit or a pedal.

I've tried a few pedals out, none of them have been what I'm looking for just yet...

Any recommendations? I'm going to be using it sparingly, as a boost during solos / middle sections... been recommended a Demeter compulator or an EBS Multicomp already, but they're very hard to get hold of in the UK...

I think you may of already answered most of your questions with that article then?

Use the search feature to look up previous discussions about compressors, while you wait for another reply :)

or get an EQ pedal.. you can then boost the frequencies that you want for a particular solo sound. I used to add a little middle, cut the very lows and the very highs, giving the sound an almost wind instrument smoothness.

I used to love the old TE dual compressor pedals.
I've had three or four over the years.
They have a good but coloured sound

I've also had a TC "Triple C" rack unit which was good.
You hear a lot of good stuff about the FMR "Really Nice Compressor" too
Both of these are transparent sounding

I'm using a half rack Presonus Blue Max which is good, but is a PITA to sit on my EA combo 'cos of the amp strap handle :)
