Which multi / 2 band compressor, built in limiter, SS, clean, rack, Hi-qual. ?

Hi guys.
First off, this community has absolutely essential to me over the years when looking for reviews and opinions and I value your various points of view very much so. Just want to say thanks.

On to business. I'm looking for a compression unit, preferably rack mount, that allows me to compress highs and lows (low-mids, lows?) seperately, preferably with the whole set of options (attack, threshold, saturation etc) for both seperately, not all together and it should be a solid state (clean at high levels of effect). I'm having trouble finding it, if it exists . I looked on Bongomania's incredibly useful and informative faq and came up with the Ashly CLX 52.

Also i think that these 2 channel compressors might be what I'm looking for, but if such is the case, how do I seperate my bass signal into seperate lines for each channel? And how would I run them back together ? I am not looking to run another seperate speaker for lows.

Thanks a million to anyone that helps me with this. I'm looking forward to your guy's suggestions and opinion on gear. Thank you.

(ps: money is not really an issue if it's under 500$. also pedal is fine as well as long as it's a high quality unit that does what i need that's worth it's floor space )

I guess you'd have to run your signal to a crossover, then to the compressor.

Any thoughts on a muiltiband compressor that doesn't require using a crossover or otherwise splitting the signal with a full other unit?

I think the Rane DC24 will do all of that. It's an excellent comp for bass. Check out bongomania's review.

BY GOSH, YOU'RE RIGHT! i don't know how i missed that beforehand. it only lacks the release and attack knobs, but has a system built in to compensate. I think i must have mentally spaced on it when i looked it up earlier because it was discontinued. Thanks you very much, guys. Sorry to waste your time.

Just in case that's unavails (which it seems to be), is there another with the crossover built in that rocks said socks?

I haven't used one, but maybe the FEA Labs multi-band compressor pedal?

Is it? I meant this one: http://www.fealabs.com/products/DBOC-L-0001.html

BSS DPR901 is "The" reference in multi-band EQ.
If you can find one (discontinued)




BTW: I love mine in my VB99 , combined with the ability to compress each strings independently , it's a compressors amateur nirvana !
