uk_lefty Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Looking for opinions here... I used to use my Ashdown Rootmaster with the compression always on at around 12 o'clock. Compression-wise it wasn't doing much but what I noticed more than anything was a big volume boost. I traded up to an ABM 600 which is a beautiful amp for the EQ and drive. But the compressor.... It doesn't seem to do much at all except make everything a lot quieter. Am I doing it wrong? Is anyone happily using the ABM compressor? Why would the Rootmaster compressor be a big volume boost and the ABM be a huge volume cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The compressors on both my RM500 & ABM600 work the same as your ABM, a volume cut. I find that around 2pm/3pm on the control is as near as the uncompressed volume as I can get, but at that point it’s too compressed for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) That's weird. I get the same as @uk_lefty . The volume increases the more compression you dial in. It's actually a bit annoying. I'm using an RM500. Edited September 8, 2022 by stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
