| | | | I realize that you've done some homework and are asking about two specific pedals, but in a compressor, my advice is go rack-mounted. You get much more than just compression/spike reduction. If you have LEDs for input/output and gain reduction, you can use it to check string to string output to use in conjunction with adjustable pole pickups, for example. This is something I've seen that's overlooked by many players and it's been very useful to me over the years.

I've used a DBX 266 studio compressor and it works great for me. Research some of the studio compressors that are rack mountable, you be happy you did. |

Choice number 2 would be an Empress compressor.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Illinois | | I actually DID consider FEA LABS comps...
but you can't purchase them anywhere AND they are all "out of stock" from the manufacturer... (which says a lot about the unit I know.... )
Thanks everyone!
BTW.... Bongo, you rock ! |
