Excellent compressor at an excellent price. Nice piece of kit that will smooth out your tone with Level, Compression, Attack, and Release controls. It is transparent and neutral but there is something going on that sounds really good. See my review here: Testing Compressors: Cali, Smoothie, Empress, Diamond, Keeley, FEA, Darkglass, Doc Lloyd, JHS & more This compressor put a smile on my face. Selling to keep funding my compressor shootout thread. $120 $90 shipped CONUS. PayPal OK. Trade interests include a Xotic RC Booster or a compressor not already in my shootout.
This would be a great compressor for someone looking for ease of use, but more control than simple one or two knob compressors. It responds well to bass and sounds great. Having control over Attack and Release is handy for dialing in.
While the Bassist is a fine compressor it is not one I am looking for right now. Yes, an attack control comes in real handy.
