Compressors Like The Proverbial Buses

[stewblack]

Been looking into all manner of pedal based compression options for a while. 

Lots of good stuff out there but I'm on a tight budget right now so that weighed on my choices. 

Whittled it down from real world experience shared by people I trust to two. Sold some stuff to raise the funds and began my sniper like existence overlooking the second hand market. 

Then the Joyo Dyna comes up at a great price and boom its mine. It hasn't even arrived and bam! the Caline appears for an unmissable price . 

 

So if course now I have to have both. Ah well, chance to choose a favourite and move the other one on.

8.

Right, so they've arrived and I've had a little play. Here are some sound samples I did for my own reference. Thought I'd share, because, well it's what we do isn't it? All follow the same pattern; 1) no compression, 2) Joyo Dyna, 3) Caline Pressure Point. Recorded via DI through my ABM500 with flat eq.

Not like for like - can't see how it could be just getting a flavour of each pedal. It's live and how they affect the bass in the mix that really matters, but this was a bit of fun.

Facebook. Just round the corner from where a bandmate lives too, so ... in fact I bought the overdrive she was selling too even though I have a few more than I need.
