BassAdder60 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Looking for folks opinions on the Boss BC1X compressor and settings ? I’ve got one incoming and curious how people rate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I love it. I've had the Origin Cali76; Empress; DG Super Symmetry; MXR and loads of others and I rate the BC-1X over all of them. I sold the rest. The Boss just doesn't have a bad sound in it. It doesn't have that annoying dip and swell that others do - it just works all the time. At some point I'll be buying 1 for each of my boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds promising I’m using the Ampeg Optocomp which for a low cost pedal works ok but tends to remove highs a little I’m hoping the Boss pedal is clean ? And does a decent job I’ve tried MXR before and Keeley and sold them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidl e Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I think it's top 3 of what's out there currently. The boss, the MXR and the empress were what i had it down to when buying a new compressor recently. I did go with the empress becauee i wanted to try out a new (to me) brand, but the other two were both in and out of my shopping cart. I think you'll be very happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just affects dynamics and nothing else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAdder60 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Yes it was great but I don’t think I’m going to change my Opto Comp Both good pedals for what I need 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Update .. I was too hasty !! I tried the BC-1X with a new BB-1X set on low drive and it’s a very nice pairing . Playing with a pick and PBass they work well together with the BC-1X adding a little more depth to the picked note and the BB-1X adds a tiny bit of grit and the EQ with added bass fills the pick tone out nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
