Origin Effects Compressor

I’m after the real differences between this two compressors on bass.

I understand that one is especially for bass, but anyone uses the other for bass too? 

Thanks

The bass version compromises by combining attack and release into one knob, but adds an ace up its sleeve in the form of the HPF. This lets you filter out the low end from the part of the circuit that detects the peaks, and with it dialled in you can negate the issue that many single band compressors have where if you hit a low note hard, it makes the compressor clamp down so hard that it audibly impacts your overall volume until it recovers and swells back up again (depending on how fast your attack/release is set).
