Anyone using a pedal compressor with the Magellan 800?
If so what brand?

Occasionally I will use my TC Electronics SpectraComp, but I haven't been using it as much as I used to.

Markbass Compressore... love it. Shame they quit building them after all the years.

Keeley or the compressor built into my SansAmp Bass Fly Rig (which is actually quite good).

Yup have a super symmetry on mine, I think Dark Glass came with a new version of it since then...

Empress as well - nice and clean just more goodness on goodness...

Tc electronic spectra but I have been thinking of a milkbox. I really like dbx compression and as I understand it dbx engineers worked on the milkbox.

I use an Empress Compressor on my board - it's very transparent and sounds great.

Same experience here...

I recently got a Becos Compiq Pro mini and it’s great with the Magellan.

I'm using the Cali76 Compact Bass from Origin Effects. Best comp. on the market, IMHO, but a bit pricey. Not too much color, just a bit of presence and fatness to cut through a mix. Reminiscent of the legendary UREI 1176.

another Keeley Bassist user here. Transparent.

Really tempted by the Cali. Also the Empress. Also a tube DI so my IEM’s will sound better. That’s a lot of cash though. Expensive comp. Expensive DI.

Cali is too pricey for me. Would love to try it though

Currently use a Keeley Bassist. Have a Darkglass Hyper Luminal on the way.

Based on the last couple of pages a keeley popped up for sale here so I figured I’d check it out with my 350. I really don’t use pedals but thought it might give me a more of my studio sound live for this jazzy funky project I’m working on.

Would love to hear you'r thoughts on that. I have the SS right now and thinking about the HL

 

[Type-55]

Looking for a compressor to add a little punch and warmth but nothing that will color the sound.
Empress stuff while really good is a little too transparent to me.

Arrives on Monday. I’ll be testing it out all night and will share my review!
