Zoom b3 compressor

[isteen]

What compressor in the Zoom multifx do you use, and can you show me/explain what settings you use?

I need the compressor to even out the output from the different strings on my bass.

 

Thank you

I have the MS60B which is the pedal sized version, I use the 160 Comp, settings as below for evening out string volume.

Scary!!!!!!!! Thats almost exactly how I have the 160 set on my B3 (I still use it occasionally, but I mostly use my Zoom B6 these days...I break out the B3 when I need to travel quick, fast, and/or playing a "questionable" room lol

160 with the settings above as well.

Recently using the Hartke amp sim as a combined EQ + comp without the cab sim. Comp on 4, one control, nice and easy.

For a darker comp, the OptComp, drive 5-7 and tone at 50.

Thanks a lot for answering

The DBX 160A compressor model in the Zoom is pretty amazing for bass.

 

Do not use it currently, but I have previously used this setting for adding extra punch, snap and bite, to great results:

 

THRS = -7  :-: Ratio= 2.5 :-:  Gain= 7

 

Knee = Hard :-: Level= 50

 

Also, and this might be obvious, and a stupid question, but are your string action and pickups adjusted correctly?

Thanks for your help, and yes - the bass is in good condition (although the P-pickup wasn't right on the dot....but it is now)
