Dr.Dave Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Compressor pedals - I know what they do and how they do it . They , like other pedals , rarely do it for me though because I'm too pig idle to set them up on stage!! BUT Just got myself a decent guitar amp and a couple of FX for pratting about at home. The Moen Holy Choir chorus sounds nice on bass too and I thought I'd make myself a pedalboard that I can use for guitar that may also see the light of day at gigs on bass. I like the idea of compression , and I want a stomp box that'll work reasonably well on bass and guitar. Any ideas?? Also wondering what's the best general option - buy a guitar pedal and also use it with bass , or buy a dedicated bass compressor and use it with guitar. Sure a lot of you FX users can lighten my darkness. I'm looking to spend.....well , close to f**k all really - you know what I'm like!! Having said that I'm allercic to the word Behr**ger.

clauster Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Can you solder? If so I'd recomend the Boss CS3 with a monte allums opto mod kit. Or the BBE opto comp for a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookus Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'd go for Aphex Punch Factory. Brilliant kit. And its a lovely orangey colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmouseman Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 + 1 for the BBE Opto Comp I've got one on my pedal board and like it alot! Got it new off E-bay for a good deal. Also sounds great with my guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
