Howdy TB. I once again find myself with too many excellent compressors that aren't getting used. Here are two very nice compressors with a similar tone profile - nice and clear with a little tone magic in the Diamond tone family (but milder). The Zipper doesn't get any easier to use, and the Gorila has the full set of comp controls. You can see full reviews here: Dedalo Gorila: Testing Compressors: Cali, Smoothie, Empress, Diamond, Keeley, FEA, Darkglass, Doc Lloyd, JHS & more SOLD Tsakalis Audio Works Zipper MKII: Testing Compressors: Cali, Smoothie, Empress, Diamond, Keeley, FEA, Darkglass, Doc Lloyd, JHS & more Both comps are in excellent overall condition. Prices include shipping within CONUS. $120 - Dedalo Gorila (has 2 clean velcro strips on bottom) $140 - Zipper (with original box)
Just got a doc Lloyd and. Cali76CB. I have 4 compressors now. I also blame Scuba! Sending the doc Lloyd back haha.
