philosophers tone

[reubmister]

hi guys

I am currently in the market for a good compressor and heard about the philosophers tone. I was wondering what you guys think of it as I can't find many reviews of it on bass

much appreciated

I've been running the ph. tone for a couple years now and largely concur with bongo's review. (which makes sense because I sought his input before buying it). I don't use it as an always-on comp; rather, I click it on here and there for squash and huge gobs of sustain (not exaggerating here, literally I can sustain a note for a whole verse with a hot Carvin active signal).
