Ashdown pedals?

[Electricblue]

I was thinking of adding an Ashdown compressor and driveplus to my rig. Any thoughts on them?

[rob_thebassman]

ive had the driveplus before and tbh theres better pedals than that

There are a few reviews of the Drive plus kicking around on here. I think gnasher1993 owned both the Drive and the LoMenzo Hyperdrive. I had the Hyperdrive and didn't really like it, but I have since watched the video Ashdown did fairly recently and now regret selling it

As far as the Compressor goes, I think Bongomania did a review on his website

[Electricblue]

Awesome, can anyone recommend a pretty standard compressor thats under 60 pounds?

Dude check out Bongomania's Top Picks.

For £60 or less, you're looking at the BBE OptoStomp really. Yeah, I think that's your best bet.

Don't waste your time on the compressor.

Is it that bad? I dont play slap, I heard that compressor is too slow. I'm buying one to simply even out my poor dynamics....

Try out RockTron's Big Crush. Quite good and cheap

Hmm, I've looked at the Boss LMB-3 and CS-3... They look quite nice.

Would the Ashdown dual band sound the same as the built-in compressor on the ashdown heads? I'm just trying to aim for the sound of my old combo's compression.

[BruceBass3901]

I think it is the same circuit, so it should sound pretty similiar

CS-3 work better for bass when modified

the LMB-3 does well for a limiter but the "enhancer" scoops the mids
