FS: Engineer's Thumb compressor

I built two of these custom comps for bass and am only keeping one of them for myself so i'm selling the other one.
I used all high quality components in its construction, mounted in a powder-coated green sparkle enclosure.

this FET & VCA based compressor features no loss of low end, has attack, release, ratio, threshold and volume controls, plus a usable & subtle bright switch. it can also be used as a clean boost. it can go from no compression, to just hint of it, to completely squashed and it doesn't affect your original tone (very transparent). it's basically like having a rack-mount comp in pedal form.

asking $200 $160 $120 shipped. paypal accepted.

BTW, these custom 'boutique' compressors are only available if you have one built for you, or you build one yourself, and IMO, they are a lot better than 90% of the compressors that are offered from manufacturers.

Nice clean build! Nice price too!

If I needed another compressor I'd jump on this one.

BTW: I took a look at your custom basses - looks like fantastic work!

Happy Holidays

Wish I wasn't in such bad financial shape, I'd certainly want to buy it for review.

Really want one of these, but it'll be mid-January before I can spend money on myself...
