Compression Modeller

[adamlunt]

These days you can get pedals that model pretty much any effect or piece of gear you want, but I can't find a pedal that can emulate a bunch of different studio-style compressors like the 1176 or LA-2A.

I know you can get pedals that are based on these comps (Effectrode PC-2A, Roger Mayer Limiter, Cali76) but they are a bit expensive and I'd rather get something can replicate all of them.

So… does anything like that even exist? Could a digital unit truly replicate the responses/feels etc of these comps?

Seen a rocktron comp locally which allows for individual compression over a range of band widths but not a modeller in any sense!

The Line 6 M series has compressor models you can pick from. Although most are pedal emulations, even the bottom-of-the-range [url="http://uk.line6.com/m5/models.html"]M5[/url] has a model of the LA-2A.

Failing that, there are plenty of VST plug-ins that model studio compressors, so you would be looking at integrating an iPad into your setup.
