Adrian Smith Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Just got an SWR 350x w/ a 4x10 cab. I have used my little Alesis NanoCompressor for several years, but I think it may be time to upgrade to a dbx or a larger Alesis. Do you think it is worth getting a $150-$300 compressor over mine, or should I wait to spend the big bucks and milk the $60 one for now? I use my compressor mainly to even out notes, but noise reduction is important as well. I don't need stereo operation. Sorry to post the 5 millionth thread on compressors, but I didn't quite find what I was looking for when I used the Search tool.

Edendude Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I have a Nano Comp, and it's surprisingly good, considering it's cost. You may not really need anything more. My Last Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Sweet Willie_ Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- I really dig my EBS MultiComp pedal. Terrific compressor. That said, you may be fine with what you have. I've never tried one, though. Peace. spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

Mr. Bassist Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Originally posted by KikkyMonk: Ive heard really good things about the RNC... but dont know anything past that. DaveMy rig consists of a tuner, a Really Nice Compressor and a Mesa Boogie D-180. The RNC is very subtle and clean sounding. Very natural. Even cranket to 6:1 ratio, it still delivers attack, and its tiny and lightweight. I bought an empty rack tray which holds all my odds and ends-- the RNC, plug bar and my direct box, with plenty of room left over for whatever else I might need to set down. It's five years old, and hasn't flinched. Chris http://homepage.mac.com/cvreeland/BassSig.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
