bigjohn Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hiya fellas, I was wondering if any of you own / have owned a T-Rex Squeezer? I'm thinking about getting one. I don't use any pedals or effects or anything at the moment. I've got a precision special (with the extra J pickup) and a solid state Ampeg combo (b3158). I'm looking to do two things - compress my sound a bit - I play in a 3 piece and sometimes I think my sound could do with being a bit more consistent. I also want to add some tube colouration. I'd like my Ampeg to sound a bit more SVT like. It's a good amp - but sometimes a little dry. I'm a bit concerned about this pedal being a bit hissy. I don't like hiss this man [url="http://www.ev-b.com/compressors.html"]http://www.ev-b.com/compressors.html[/url] here hates them because of it. Anyone got any alternatives? All the best John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Fly Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I recommend you the [b][url="http://www.ebs.bass.se/2007/multicomp.htm"]EBS MultiComp[/url][/b]. It also has the "TubeSim" function that adds some tube-like warmth if this is what you are looking for.

bigjohn Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Nice one, I saw that on his list - but wasn't sure it was a pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) DHA compressor? My favorite compressor for a very punchy sound, is the Ibanez CP5. Edited November 22, 2007 by cheddatom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm strangely attracted to the DHA, It looks like it's been put together in a potting shed and painted by someone who's peaking on LSD. Anyone got one? I'm finding it harder make my mind up than I usually do - most of the reviews I've read seem to make a point of making compressors' transparency sound like a good thing.

cheddatom Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I've got a Bob the Blender, which is just supposed to be a valve pre-amp with blender. It does a small bit of compression, and when you really drive it, it breaks up nicely. Not much of a compressor, obviously, but it's not supposed to be. I'm guessing the compressor would be just as impressive, but I can't really recommend it haven't not tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
