Members Alchemist Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 Best compressor I ever played, period. Clips to come tommorow if my laptop doesnt crash again like it did 20 mins ago, erasing about 15 mins worth of clips I just recorded of this thing:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mattoverb Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 I've played the memory lane which is a very very nice delay so I assume the compressor is of the same great quality Good choice and have fun with it:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members One-armed Alec Posted January 2, 2007 Members Share Posted January 2, 2007 Very nice. You can't beat a good compressor!I have a Keeley Comp, but it doesn't have an EQ knob. The EQ knob looks like a very good idea - especially if you're using the pedal as a solo boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EQ is fantastic on it, lets you take it from spanky country to smooth jazz without getting muddy or cutting any top end. I'm loving it.

I may have to look into these. Some clips would be badass if you get the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to look into these. Some clips would be badass if you get the time. For sure, like I said, I cut about 15 mins random clips and was getting ready to edit them.... then my laptop crashes and I couldnt recover anything. That pretty much pissed me off for the rest of the day. I'll go back at it tomorrow with a fresh mind, and if I'm in the mood I'll do some clips of my other rig as well.

Members Alchemist Posted January 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Originally posted by axegrinder I've been looking for the right comp.Alchemist, which brands have you played before? What makes this one the best? Boss CS3 (owned, sold, decent effect, too much noise, not near as tonally pleasant as this), Keely compressor (quite nice as well), Barber TonePress (nice pedal again), Maxon Vintage Reissue (fairly nice), MXR Dynacomp (great for the money), DOD Milkbox (I guess its decent for the money). Aphex Punch Factory..... I love how this is very transparent, no noise, the compression sounds great, adds spank but doesnt make your tone flat and lifeless as I have found many compressors to do. The EQ and compression has a lot of range allowing you to go from smooth jazz to spanky country..... It can be used as a solo boost as well. On top of that, the build quality is excellent, and I believe it has a 5 year warranty as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it may cost more, I'd rather get the right one the first time instead of trial & error.

Even though it may cost more, I'd rather get the right one the first time instead of trial & error. (bear with me while I justify the expense ) Well I know its more expensive than some others. But I have gone through a lot of gear over the years.... and all I can say is this. If you dont buy what suits your needs best at first, you will eventually buy it later on, and most likely lose a lot of money on your initial investment on the item you settled for. I've lost a bunch of money selling off old pedals, guitars, amps etc that I just settled for. Now I only buy what I truly want, if it costs more, I'll just save longer.Oh and I also played an amazing Suhr HSS strat today. Felt and played just as nice as my G&L but had a janglier brighter tone due to the alder body and maple neck, versus my all mahogany. When I have enough cash for it, it will be mine..... now can anybody give me $2000:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
