Boss BC1X compressor

I love it.

I've had the Origin Cali76; Empress; DG Super Symmetry; MXR and loads of others and I rate the BC-1X over all of them.

 

I sold the rest.

 

The Boss just doesn't have a bad sound in it. It doesn't have that annoying dip and swell that others do - it just works all the time.

 

At some point I'll be buying 1 for each of my boards.

That sounds promising 

 

I’m using the Ampeg Optocomp which for  a low cost pedal works ok but tends to remove highs a little 

 

I’m hoping the Boss pedal is clean ? And does a decent job 

 

I’ve tried MXR before and Keeley and sold them both

I think it's top 3 of what's out there currently.

 

The boss, the MXR and the empress were what i had it down to when buying a new compressor recently. 

 

I did go with the empress becauee i wanted to try out a new (to me) brand, but the other two were both in and out of my shopping cart.

 

I think you'll be very happy.

I didn't like the Optocomp.

 

The Boss is clean. It just affects dynamics and nothing else.

Update .. I was too hasty !! 
 

I tried the BC-1X with a new BB-1X set on low drive and it’s a very nice pairing .

 

Playing with a pick and PBass they work well together with the BC-1X adding a little more depth to the picked note and the BB-1X adds a tiny bit of grit and the EQ with added bass fills the pick tone out nicely
