Sign in to disble this ad
So I was looking for a new compressor, on a $100 budget. Searched, found Bongomania's awesome, extensive compressor research and thread. Decided to go with the the BBE Opto Stomp, and I couldnt be happier.
Thank You Talkbass, and Bongo, for saving me time and money. Now I got the tone I'm looking for.  |

The BBE is supposed to be like an optical compressor but I was wondering, does the circuit actually use a photocoupler? |

| | | | Haha. Talkbass has saved me money...
TheGearPage... that's a whole different story. I think I ripped thru about 30-40 pedals this year, buying, selling, etc. |

|  | I'm a tumbler, born under punches | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Northern California | | | I'd say that about a month after I joined, I spent little time reading new threads, almost never posted and spent the majority of my time on TB using the search function and reading up on a number of topics, most of them effects. In fact, outside of Effects and Off-Topic (and occasionally The Lobby) I still spend most of my time reading old threads. It's amazing how much info this site has to offer.
As for bongomania, I'd say that he's probably my favorite compressor obsessed, electronics knowledgeable, purple suit wearing, bongo playing, Portuguese Water Dog owning, Oregonian. At worst he's in the top two. |

The guy's relisted it a couple of times, so he may be open to haggling on the price. |

But, the Std will be complete today and I will test it this week. so I will post it and the Comp this week.
