Nano Soul Preacher for bass? General concensus

[Nighttrain1127]

I did a search and found nothing really saying if it works well for bass or not so need your opinions. Just need a compressor that works without losing the bottom end. So Those of you that have used it is it worth it or is there something you likje better?

Since you searched, I assume you already read my reviews?

Ouch. That is like the definitive compressor FAQ.

They suck bottom. Sound nice on upper register stuff.

Yeah Bongo I read your thread and it is very informative I just thought I would get a few opinions but As I see from others here and other forums they don't work well for bass.
Thanks for the information and BTW great List of comps and reviews you have there.

Au contraire...

I thought it worked great for bass! No noticeable bottom-end loss or anything like that.

It does have other quirks, though (like adding a little top-end, and some white noise). I sold it because you can find much better compressors for the price if you're looking for something clean and fairly low-noise. The Soul Preacher is more of a niche pedal, since it's better at squishing than at clean compression. It has an odd but very musical sound regardless, so it's not a bad compressor, IMO.

Seek out my review if you're interested! I didn't like it at first until I tweaked the gain trimpot inside. On the trimpot's stock setting, your bass will heavily overdrive the compressor. You need to turn it back quite a bit...
