isteen Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have the MS60B which is the pedal sized version, I use the 160 Comp, settings as below for evening out string volume. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK 138 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 160 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
