51m0n Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 They are hard to find! GAK usually have soem MB pedals in, but phone to check since they used to have trouble keeping the Compressore in stock. I've never seen the FloorQ, however it is the same compressor circuit (exactly) as in the TwinQ and SixQ which I've used an awful lot in the studio on bass. In fact [url="http://soundcloud.com/51m0n-1/sets/slow-motion-sickness-e-p-1/s-u42Wa"]this lot[/url] is a MusicMan Stingray through a Joe Meek TwinQ for eq and compression (not me playing, its Plux) and a touch of transformer saturation. Its a great opto compressor IMO which adds lovely fat squidgy compression to bass tracks. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Looks like the compression talk you did a couple of years ago Si, should make a much needed re-appearance this year...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 How about a very quick "How t set up a/your compressor" type of thing. Should take 10 or 15 minutes tops - best if a few people with compressor pedals are there to be guinea pigs I've done quite a bit of prep for the "How to mic up an ensemble in a room" thing, a fair bit on mics and stereo micing techniques to cover in that you see.

Si600 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I know it's old hat now, but I can bring my TC Nova Dynamics if anyone wants to try it. I might bring it anyway if there is going to be instructions on how to use it Edited September 24, 2012 by Si600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi Alex, I'll bring my Compact for you to take a look at. If you have a Midget silver grill, I'd also (potentially) be interested to take that off your hand for the months trial Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
