    Testing Compressors: Cali, Smoothie, Empress, Diamond, Keeley, FEA, Darkglass, Doc Lloyd, Lusithand & more

    I finally sold off my empress comp and eyeing a cali76 compact bass as a replacement based on this thread - time to add a bit more color to my compression. If worst comes to the worst and it doesn't do it for me, I have about 50 other options I'd try based on this thread. Thanks @scubaduba !

    QQ - I've had the tonehammer for a while, rarely really use the EQ on it, and don't use AGS bc I hit it too hard. I'm looking for a replacement that is not called Noble. I run a decent amount of dirt week to week, should I look for a cab sim or a preamp with cab sim? Would I fare better with...

    yeah, probably going the same route. It ought to allow me to fit the echosystem on the top row, and should be very usable on guitar, too.

    Same! Both the echosystem and the compressor. I’m tempted to try a Cali76 bass deluxe in place of the empress just for a change of pace - I’ve had this comp for a couple years now. The empress will be hard to beat, though. The echosystem is a dream machine. Every time I think about selling it...

    I cannot get the AGS to work for me because of the issue you're describing, and also, not matter where I have the volume on the pedals or bass before it, I hit the AGS way too hard to sound amplike and be reactive to touch. I run active basses before it, which shouldn't matter really, and the...

    This past weekend's setup. The Glacial Zenith is new to me but it is staying around. Can go from mild OD to full distortion and the low end stays intact, with a separate boost for before or after the drive. It is honestly a bargain. It could be my entire drive section if I wanted. This board...

    The CS6 from Truetone is reasonably priced and super quiet for power if you want to move away from a wallwart. Otherwise, nothing easier (and smaller) than a 1spot.

    very much how i use it too, or to create pads during prayerful moments, or to create whale sounds/swells when we are down an electric player. I use a Mercury7 and an Empress Echosystem which is 100% overkill for bass, but i can create some really nice sounds. Want to add an Enzo to smooth it out...
