| Yeah, that's a decent suggestion. It's tough though, because there actually is something special about certain Symetrix comps, and it's the specific VCA chip they use. Some of the older ones used a chip by Allison/Valley People, and a bit later Symetrix developed and used their own VCA. Later ones used chips developed by dbx, and it's those that will be most similar to the Maxon CP9Pro+. I actually don't know of a pedal that exactly mimics the action and sound of the early Symetrix units. I think the closest might be the Joemeek FloorQ or the FEA Opti-FET, even though both are optical comps, not VCA. I just have an intuitive memory-sensation of them sounding/responding a bit like the early Symetrix. |
