Compression Under $100

[quadrogong]

What's the real deal w low end loss on the BBE? I use a good amount of low end when I play,
I've found that the majority of stomp comps won't allow enough low end to filter through.
I havn't had much luck w 9 volt comps in that price range,

any BBE users using it successfullly w the lows turned up?

Haven't noticed *any* problems in that department myself, but I use only passive 4-string basses. If you're using active and/or 5-strings, I can't comment to those particular situations. But my experience has been that there is no perceptible alteration of tone with the OptoStomp on or off, in or out of the chain.

+1 for DOD milk box. Got mine for 30 bucks from ebay, love it.

No opinion on the BBE. But I play a 5-string with the bottom string tuned to A, and I don't perceive any low loss with my Philosopher's Tone.

The BBE is NOT a limiter.

Thanx, appreciate the comments
I don't wanna hijack,
So I won't comment on this again,

But yeah, I play active only, and set the EQ way bassier than most players,
I've tried a few of the cheaper, comps;
( Guyatone ST-2, Malekko Comp,) to name a couple..
It's good to hear positive reviews on the BBE , I'd like to try one out

I LOVE my BBE. No, it's not a limiter. Yes, it's very transparent. No, it does not cut any lows that I've ever been able to tell.
