To all of you Diamond Bass Comp owners, do you know where one could find some sound clips? I have searched high and low and have failed to find anything.

Ok mabye someone can help....I am a Type o negative fan, trying to get Peter Steeles tone, I am very very close, I have a compressor going into my distortion, chorus and delay, then the signal goes into a sonic max...........my question is do I have the compressor and sonic max.

I always heartily recommend the MarkBass Compressore. Hands-down my favorite compressor I've ever owned, at least in stompbox format.
The Xotic has a loud hiss when you want significant compression with high gain, i had two of them and sent them both back.

The Dynacomp is good for guitar, bad for bass. I mean if Steele used it then OK, try it for his sound; but if he didn't, then don't waste your time with it. BTW, I just searched and found zero reference to him using any compressor, let alone the Dynacomp.

That said, sonic maximizers are designed to be the very last thing in the chain, after any other type of effect.
I met another bassist on here who knew Peter Steele personally and told him about my quest to get Peter Steeles tone. I explained to him that I, like allmother bassists who are Type O fans , was going by the pics of his gear I found on the web, some of those pics being on this forum, I went and got the right pedals but it still sounded like there was a lot missing, so I bought the same bass head, and a 410 cab, closer still but not exact......he told me there was a ton adding to his signal, like pre and post signal compression, I have no idea what type of compressor so I tried out a few at guitar center, the dyna comp sounded good and the price was right so I bought it, it sounds pretty amazing with this setup, he played his bass more like a baritone guitar so mabye thats why it sounds good with all the other stuff adding to my signal. At this point I have just about everything signal wise that I could get that I know he used, so Im just experimenting.
