E sharp Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Not much info on these on Basschat - apart from a random sale a while ago . I like what the Diamond does as an always on compressor - I'm using it more of as a tone enhancer really . The Effectrode PC-2A is in a similar vein I suppose , and was thinking of one of those - or maybe go the full hog with the LA-1A . Though a fair bit more pricey . Have any one of you lovely peeps had a play around with either? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) I’ve had the PC-2A and it was a lovely wee unit. To my memory it was a warm, vintage sounding unit. It made my p bass sound all warm and fat. I wasn’t really that well versed in compression back then but I enjoyed what it did to my tone and it made me thing of that classic old school sound. My gear got stolen and that’s the only reason I no longer have it. I don’t think I recall it being super squishy or at least that wouldn’t have been my type of setting. I do use an LA-2A comp in my daw as an always on (in the aux) parallel comp and think it’s a great match on bass. It’s a studio standard! The LA-1A looks class and I’ve no doubt it would sound great but I’ve not heard any examples yet (goes off looking for bass samples of the LA-1A on bass) Edited December 27, 2021 by krispn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
