mcnach Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 very different boxes. It's hard to put it in words... The LMB-3 does a decent job as a limiter without affecting (much) the sound of your bass (I would not bother with the Enhance knob, it doesn't do anything I like enough to put up with the added hiss). The MultiComp is my favourite compressor (I own two!). It's not the most transparent, but it's really easy to set up and adjust so that it tightens up the sound (I use it primarily to reduce the disparity in volume between finger-style and slap, but also because it just makes slap sound nicer and "rounder"). If you like the inherent sound of the Multicomp, it's hard to beat. I use mostly the dual-band setting (MB), but the "Tubesim" setting has a little less coloration and fattens up the sound more... Pretty cool box. Both are good at something different... I'd go with the Multicomp everytime, 'though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) +1. The Multicomp is an amazing tool. I use the Tubesim and have it on all the time. Being an opto compressor, the Multicomp tends to fatten the sound really nice and the Tubesim has something going on in the midrange that makes the bass cut nicely through the mix.

mazdah Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I tried to love EBS Multicomp, but I never did. They both change the sound, LMB-3 adds highs, but scoops the mids, while EBS has a mid boost. Out of those two - i'd go with EBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
