Best compressor for someone who already owns a Dyna Comp

Post by PlumCrazy »

I'm looking for suggestions for a compressor that would mainly be used for bass and maybe a little 12 string or 6 string. I already own a Dyna Comp so I'm looking for a different flavor and more control.

Bonus points for something user serviceable if an issue arises.

By user serviceable, l mean no surface mount. Not a dealbreaker.

Have you tried the Origin pedals? Not cheap but nice.

I have had three compressors that I really like. One is a BJF Pine Green compressor, the Analogman Bi-Comp I think it is a great value for the money and super versatile. The last one I have experience with that I really like is the Pete Cornish OC-1 optical compressor. I can personally recommend any of these three. If I was only going to get one it would be the Analogman pedal.

Ross grey compressor: it rules. Although from what I've read quite similar to the dyna in design?

For bass, I've used em all, and ended up a coin toss between the Empress and the Diamond Bass comp (for bass). I loved my Cali 76, but too damn big and worth too much $$$.
Never liked the Dynacomp on bass. The Cali SLide Rig might be worth looking into though for acoustic guitar. But give the two Canadian pedals a shot.

I like the Wampler Ego. Easy to service and the blend function is nice to have.

I would think that that as an alternative to an electrical compressor like a Dynacomp you might want to try an optical one. They have a different attack and feel. I'm not sure what models to suggest, i've only rolled my own, but might be something to look at.
