Compressor with drive channel

[Duroc17]

Any recommendations for Compressor with drive channel - doesn’t have to be DI - or 2 cheaper compression and a drive pedal.

TC Electronic Spectradrive? Love the comp, never tried the drive

Joyo Scylla + Tidal wave sounds fine, if you want cheap. The sound is innthe warmer end. The Spectradrive may be better for getting a bit more "aggression" to the sound which cuts better in the mix as it beside a really good one-knob compression (and tubedrive) also has a really well thought out 4 band tone control. I have experimented a bit with a Zoom MS pedal which (as other multieffects) tend to gain a good conveniency score. Each of these three have a sonic character of their own. The Zoom also run on battery where the other two depend on a 9V supply.

Try listening to Fairfield Circuitry's The Accountant - tiny compressor enclosure that also delivers character/dirt/grit after a little experimentation.

Any thoughts on the Nux Melvin Lee bass DI. No compressor but liking what I hear - I only need light compressor at most and light drive
