What didn't you like about it, specifically? I use mine sporadically but I have had great results with it every time I use it. I am kind of moving away from using compressors when I play but usually plug one in if I am recording. I am interested to hear your take.redeyeflight wrote:I used to have the analogman bi-comprosser...I wasn't super impressed...

I am currently borrowing this. It is the best Compressor I have ever used:
I want........If only I could find one.
It robbed me of my high end and it added a bit too much noise for my taste (which I know is something compressors do by nature). I think its a cool pedal...I liked the OS side much more but it just didn't have the "pop" of a dynacomp to my ears...I dunno, like I said, I just think I don't really like compressors in general. The bi-comp will probably make most pretty happy...I just didn't dig it for my sound. In comparison, I thought a demeter compulator was much more transparent and didn't take my high end away. I think a lotta folks will like that slight fattening/smoothing of the highs that the analogman gives your tone but I just don't dig it...1bottlerocket wrote:What didn't you like about it, specifically?

That's interesting. Which pickups/guitars do you regularly use? I primarily use strats and P90 equipped guitars. Pretty much all the pickups I have are 'vintage' voiced and by that I mean they are relatively low output under 6k, by today's standards, while my favorite set measures 4.9, 5.3, 5.8. I really didn't loose a lot of top end with my rigs and I did notice the smoothing out of the tonal range, as you mentioned. This can go to an extreme too which is why I tend to limit my use of compressors. I also noticed that I play more carefully now that I have weaned myself off compressors.redeyeflight wrote:It robbed me of my high end and it added a bit too much noise for my taste (which I know is something compressors do by nature).1bottlerocket wrote:What didn't you like about it, specifically?
