Line6 Fm4 + compressor/limiter

[Rebo213]

Hiya,
I´m going to pick up an Fm4. I´m not an effects guy, you know, I´m just gettin´in it. For you users of that pedal, do you use any compressor or limiter to cut that peaks? I owned before two EH micro synths, a q-tron, etc. but never get accostumed to that volume peaks, it is a must to run a limiter with that kind of effect?
Thanks all

I would use a compressor to smooth out the tracking, but not for the filtrers

If you get tired of it, let me know. I want one myself.

Put the compressor after the filter - done.

It's a good idea to run a compressor/limiter after the filter if the filter puts out big spikes like the Q-Tron does. The best sort of compressor for this is one which has control over the threshold (so you can select exactly how high the peaks can be before the compressor reacts), and a high ratio (so it will flatten those big spikes).

Thanks for the help guys. I´ve spent some time reading Bongomania´s compressor reviews, do you think a Boss Lmb-3 will be a cheap candidate to solve my problem?

Yep.
