Help me find a new limiter...

Sign in to disble this ad
I've done a bit of searchig, but couldn't really find a whole lot on the subject. My old Boss LM-2B died on me, so I need to find myself a decent limiter, or a really transparent compressor.

I like a really transparent effect, with just a bit of peak attenuation with maybe a bit of gain boost. I'm Looking to spend under $100. Any suggestions?

BBE Optostomp is nice, and fairly transparent. It might add a slight touch of brightness, so if you are going into a bright sounding rig, it might not sound right. It has a soft knee, but if you overdo it with the settings, it might over compress.

TBer Bongomania has extensively reviewed what looks like hundreds of compressors. This link should help you find a good limiter for your price range.

Second the optostomp, I think BBE makes a limiter also but I havnt used it. I run it after all of my pedals besides delay, wah and my sansamp with the volume all the way up and compression around 10 Oclock and its very transparent.
