Members Mistersuperfly Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 My Diamond has become an always-on effect because I love it so much... I think the general consensus on this board is pretty much the same too. Diamond ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Naterel Posted August 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ive had the CS-1 before and its wayyy more awesome when you fix the volume drop. Thing is its always set to squash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zephyrside Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Call me crazy but I really like my Joyo comp... It's my first compressor so maybe I just dont know any better but it gets me the sounds I'm after. Its pretty subtle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members caeman Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I had a CS-2 a while back, now I need something What say you denizens of HCFX? The Guyatone ST-2. Get two of them. Serial compression is fun. You can get way more compression with two of them in serial, and with no noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members caeman Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Also, check out the compressor reviews here:http://www.ovnilab.com/ The gent reviews them for a bassists, but they will work for guitar just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tstrahle Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I like my two knob Keeley. Anything more than two knobs and I'm going to screw it up because I'm an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitardustin Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Real talk I have an orange squeeze clone that I dig, but at stage volume it just makes {censored} more noisy and looses the cool squishy sound. Therefore, it sits at my house in a box. Love, Dustin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members solewheelin Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I like my two knob Keeley. Anything more than two knobs and I'm going to screw it up because I'm an idiot. There are 2 trims inside the pedal.. which basically means that the 2 knob and 4 knob Keeley are the same thing (?)Idiot or not, I feel you need to know this.

Members nomenclature Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 not down with compressors for guitar, but I want an empress compressor for bass and recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reaganomics! Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have the Guyatone ST-2. Really cool for a 'traditional' compressor, can switch in 50% dry mix to keep the squash back. I also have a Boss LM-2. Phil's dropped the science on me about what a 'Limiter' is but I can't remember it. Basically though, Boss LM-2 is like a fairly un-squashy compressor, though it can get some good squash going on, and also you get a tone control. It's also a VCA Compressor. Don't know what that means, except it's like a pro-gear pro-attutide rack effect, while most pedlol compressors are either based on a type of IC chip or an light detecting resistors.

Members cryptosonic Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I built up a Ross and left it shelved due to meh. Later I added a clean blend [essentially becoming a tone press] and now I love it. I'd shop for a mix control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members caeman Posted August 30, 2012 Members Share Posted August 30, 2012 Least exciting effect ever. Not all effects have to be obvious. Some are allowed to be subtle. EQ pedals are subtle. High and low pass filters. Sonic maximizers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
