I like the Keeley comp - I use it for bass and guitar.

If you can order it, it's cheaper than a Keeley.

for the non-boutique compressors, my vote goes to the MXR Dyna Comp. i love the squeaky sound it gives to my clean tone.

for any compressor, the best i've tried so far is the Home Brew Electronics Compressor Retro. vintage sound at its best! it's even better than a Keeley Compressor, in my opinion :)

Thumbs up for the Dyna Comp ..

Although I love the subtle 'cushion' effect of the under-rated Boss CS-2 ..

i think the best way to play a CS-3 is to put a noise suppressor before it. problema ko rin yan before with the CS-3 e, but after i bought an NS-2 i was able to use it. it's an okay compressor, but go for a Dyna Comp.

well, the Super Comp has more options but the Level and Sensitivity knobs of the Dyna Comp are all you'll need. kung makahanap ka ng vintage Dyna Comp, mas matindi yun :)

i never was big on compressors... it colors my tone so much... but if i can get em cheap (which is highly unlikely) i wouldn't mind toying around with a dyna comp and see if i can get something out of it... if not, then i'll just keep it in storage :)

well sa US, $70 lng ung dyna comp.. about 3.7k lang.. pero dito mahal tlga.. i think 5k+ ung dynacomp.. hehe.. nagpost na nga ko sa buy and sell na LF dynacomp.. sana may magbenta ng mura sakin.. hehehe..

so maybe i'll settle for the mxr nalang para mas mura compare sa keeley or ung goudie.. hehe

ganun talaga ang buhay pare.. mahal ang shipping costs kasi, plus the distributors have to mark up their prices as well. pero kahit P5k yung Dyna Comp dito, sulit pa rin. actually, sa JB Music ko binili yung Dyna Comp ko :)

+1 for the CS-2's! :D  ...although i only use my CS-2 on clean applications. Pantay na kasi ang tunog kung gagamitin ko sa saturated tones. Nasasayang yung weight ng hard attacks ko kung pareho rin naman pala ang degree nya kapag soft ang picking mo. That's just for me, though...



ok na ko sa clean plus chorus+other mod+ delay.. balak ko tlga gamitin ung comp sa overdrive mode.. hehe... ung cs-3 naman mashado na ma-zsshhhhhh.. unless lagyan daw ng noise suppressor.. hhehe ..la lang.. i think ganun naman mga comp db? or mern mas tahimik but gives the same sustain as the one's na maingay? hehe
