Bo Millward Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Right I'm after I good compressor but for a very specific reason. I'm guna run it at the start of my signal chain so it needs enough head room for a very hot active signal on input or a pad. It needs to be transparent as a mother f***er I only want about 3db of gain reduction with no real coloration and I want to retain all my dynamic control. I'm very tempted by the MXR M87 but I really don't want to pay 150 quid for the pleasure. Any alternatives out there? I'm not arsed about having a GR meter but independent Input / output / threshold / attack time / release time would be very cool. Here's the best bit can anyone find me one for under 80 quid?

paul_5 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 That's exactly how I run mine - just 'tickles the peaks' off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If you can find one, the TC electronic Nova Dynamics is amazing. Also look at the EBS Multicomp secondhand too. The MXR is pretty nice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 the nova dynamics is a great bit kit. I would also suggest the T-rex Squeezer and Markbass Compressore. Both are pretty similar, although the T-rex has a smaller foot print, although both run on a silly voltage (12 I think), but have the required controls and are very clear and transparent unless you start using proper squash..
