leemarseillebass Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hiya. I’m going ‘back’ to rackmounted stuff. I’ll be selling my pedals off, and I want to know about using rack compression. So, a few I fancy using apparently won’t work well with the bass going straight in - does this mean they’ll be fine say after a preamp? Line level? Cheers in advance, Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 That is correct. They will work fine (usually) when placed in the effects loop of an amplifier 'head' or between a separate preamplifier and power amplifier combination. Or you could do as I have and use some sort of device that will boost your bass signal up from 'instrument level' to 'line level' then go straight in to the compressor that way, meaning it can be at the start of the signal chain which I prefer in most cases.
