small rack(?) compressor with metering help

[Ant]

so, im looking for a small rack style compressor to keep on my pedalboard (pedaltrain nano)

the way i have my board on stage it would be easier for me to see the LED metering if it was front facing like a rack unit instead of on the top of the board.


anyone know of any half rack comps that will fit on a pedaltrain nano?

RNC compressors seem to get a good review. Not used them myself. [url="http://www.fmraudio.com/rnc.html"]http://www.fmraudio.com/rnc.html[/url]

Check out the Empress Compressor - best metering I've seen on a pedal and sounds great.

That does look like a nice pedal. Has both a blend knob for parallel compression, and also a side chain. I would be looking to get one if i wasnt so happy with my markbass compressore. Even so, i sometimes toy with the idea of having one of these at the end of my chain (compressore being at the start).

Could try to pick up an Alesis NanoCompressor on ebay etc.
