BassAdder60 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 After trying a few compressors this and last year and nearly settling on the Boss LMB3 i decided to get ( again ) the Ampeg Opto Comp pedal. I really like what this pedal adds ( a warm vibe ) and it pairs very well with my Ampeg SGT-Di ( in front of ) Im playing more with a pick and this adds a nice roundness to the sound and keeps the low end from booming. It’s £89 new so a bargain and a very good compressor for my needs. Definitely worth checking out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I’ve just picked up one of these - thanks @fretmeister - used it this evening at band practice and agree it really helps tame the low end. I’ve had a good few compressors but this one just seems to work for me, with hardly any compression on, just at 9 o’clock. From reading reviews this seems how most people tend to use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Yes still have mine, warm tone from it and it just works. Just tried mine again with a pick and it really warms things and fattens the sound nicely I believe it’s because it’s Optical ? my settings below Edited September 29, 2023 by BassAdder60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 At 12 o’clock compression setting they state it’s 3:1 compression Its max clockwise is 10:1 so quite a low range and might be why it sounds so sweet ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
