Members A.P. Ryder Posted June 12, 2013 Members Share Posted June 12, 2013 I've been using my Analogman CompROSSer for 13 years now, and recently got a ZVEX Instant Lo-Fi, which is also a great comp. Because I've been so in love with the AM Comp, I've basically ignored compressors for the past dozen years. They are becoming my new obsession ,in that I would like to try one or two more to add to the collection. Any comp recommendations? Like fuzz, I find compressors are quite addicting.

Members sparkfriction Posted June 12, 2013 Members Share Posted June 12, 2013 Barber Tone Press - great if you like blend options on comps.Empress is the best - just playd a few minutes, but thats for real one of the finest compressorsEQD the Warden is intresstingyeah and the Wampler Ego Comp is not bad.the Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter is a sleeper and great for the "always on without color squish" type of player. good tone quality!

Phil O'Keefe Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The Analogman already gives you the two most influential pedal compressor designs - the Ross / Dyna-Comp, and the Orange Squeezer. Those two designs (the Ross and the Dyna Comp are extremely close to each other design-wise) are the basis for tons of the compressor pedals you'll come across. IMO, there would be no real reason to seek out a Keeley or a Malekko compressor, because both of those are based on the Ross, and you already have a very good Ross type compressor. For something a bit different, maybe consider the MI Effects Compressor. It's got tons of control, and it's a very cool sounding pedal. The Diamond compressor would be another good choice that isn't a Ross or Orange Squeezer clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members conky Posted June 12, 2013 Members Share Posted June 12, 2013 These days I prefer plain ol power amp tube compression but I would like to play around with a Dynacomp for the hell of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
