I've owned compressors before. I've read Bongo's stuff. I'm looking for a compressor that can sound like the built in compressor in my Fender Rumble 25 practice amp. It sounds better than any compressor I've used (granted, only about 4 and they were less expensive models). This time I'm ready, since I just sold some pedals, to spend more (up to $200) to get a really good one IF it can sound like that practice amp.
What this amp does is smooth out the tone or maybe smooths out the edges of the notes so that it all sounds really smooth and professional. When I'm using my other, bigger amps, I can't get that consistent, smooth tone, especially when using a pick. And I get volume spikes that I apparently need help controlling.
Now, I'm not necessarily asking which compressor I need, though I'm open to advice, I guess I'm asking if anyone can tell me what commonly used compressor terminolgy did I just describe when talking about how my amp sounds. Squash? I guess you might have to have played through a Fender Rumble to know what I'm talking about but maybe my description will be enough. Hope someone can help!
