King Tut Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I’ve been playing about with an old Trace AH300 SMX amp at home and finding I’m really loving the compression on it. It’s not exactly transparent but it gives me a tone I really like. Does anyone know of a pedal that does that tone - I’m not necessarily worried about dual band - I’m not even sure if the dual band thing is part of what i like! I’ve got a TC Spectracomp pedal - if I started exploring the editing options on that, would that possibly get me there? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 There are real deal SMX Compressor pedals complete with balance control. You could try the Wanted section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I wonder how much different the Ashdown Dual Compressor is to the SMX pedal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebenezer Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Had one of the trace smx dual compressor pedals....really good but didn't use it much because i am lazy....sold mine, but they do pop up now and again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 They come up occasionally on eBay but pricing can be all over the place. I like the Ashdown idea, could be worth it, though my experience of the Ashdown amp onboard compressor is not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Thanks for all the comments. Ideally I’d be looking for something with a small footprint. I think I’ll delve into my spectracomp and see if I can program that to something similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
