What would you compare the onboard compressor too for quality?? DBX?? M87??? Etc....

Great points!!! I like the idea of raising the input with less comp... I’ll study these diagrams for sure and thanks for all your help and info!!!!

I copied this from 1176 info; Its unique “feedback compression" design also added to the 1176’s tone. With modern compressors, the input to the detector unit is taken directly from the input section. But with a feedback compressor, the input comes from the output of the signal. That means the...

With Covid everything has shut down but before that,,,, the orchestral recordings were done by our Canadian Broadcast Corporation.... it was an awesome experience using the best mic’s in the world, working with the best producers, composers and musicians.... the private industry keeps...

My ultimate dream gear was a Shelford channel into a crown digital high powered amp.... but no one could tell if the Shelford was overkill or not....

I like the side chain option. I spent a lot of years in the studio.... last 12 years were at CBC in Winnipeg recording the Symphony, chamber orchestras, jazz and rock sessions and have used all kinds of high end gear.... but just didn’t know what the compressor on the Pro6 was doing.... thanks man

Me with Otis Rush- 1986-87

Thanks again.... I agree with you on the tone... the Pro6 has amazing paramentrics,,,, so I’ll experiment with what I got, then decide if it’s compression or side chain eqing is the answer.... this has been an amazing first experience on this website and thanks again for all your help I added my...

Awesome info and thanks!!!! Initially I was looking to correct problems but reading up on the 1176, I’m reading that it does add a lot to the sound. I love that warm growl of tube Ampeg’s,,,, maybe I should think my solution should be to use the Ampeg comp more to correct eq issues and then to...

Ya I use maybe 4/1,,, on the Pro6, so about 6-7 o’clock... it’s pre so I have very little. I play the blues so warmth and dynamics are necessary. I like a bright tone with deep bass for playing medium and soft sections, but if I want to dig in or play a solo, I find the treble clacky and noisy...

It’s just that there is only one knob, turn clockwise, more compression ratio,,, but no info on Attack and Release times as well as quality reviews on the Ampeg compression...

I yes I agree about my Pro6!!!! Awesome amp, lots of eq choices and I especially love the Tube Drive.... I run that full 300 volts = nice growl and warmth,,, perfect for playing blues

Thanks!!!! I’ll check Scuba out....

I’ve been using my comp settings at about 9:00.... lots of bass at 3:00.... sometimes treble at 1:00. The reason for wanting some post eq is for adding more top end that is bright for softer playing but is held back when I dig in. So I was thinking of going pre amp out into something high...

I never heard of that compressor but I’ll look into it, thanks
