Zoom b3 compressors

[bassbrad]

I have been messing a bit for recordings* and both the B3 and MS60b have fairly decent comps and limiters that 'feel' a lot like their analog counterparts, I give them a B+. I like the MComp and the 160 best.

* Generally I steer clear of using compressors, but both the guitar player and drummer are dead set on having the bass compressed. Usually I fall back on my Durham Sex Drive for comp needs or the excellent comp in the Digitech BP8.

I had an MXR M87 and personally I like the comps on the B3 better - particularly the DBX and M Comp. The M works best when I have the SVT sim going - it seems to bring out the definition in the notes and make it pop like a Ampeg should. for most of the other settings I use the DBX model. For Muse's Starlight I use the Dual Comp.

I like the Opto andf the 160 as well.. the Opto kind of reminds me of my Aphex..

You probably already knew this, but the OptComp was modeled after the Aphex Punch Factory. (I still like my Aphex 204 Big Bottom and Aural Exciter better, though)

Yeah I figured that. I was not sure but it seemed logical.
