oh not another compressor thread...

[lucky]

Hi all

ive read through the recent compressor threads but they arent about what i need.

im looking at the rack mount 2 in one compressors/limiter/gate things, once to compress before the preamp to give me a more consistant distortion, and the other time for post pre amp to even out the sound if im using the different levels of drive/volume, and id like to switch each one on and off easily (preferably footswitchable)

at the moment the 3 im considering are

the TC C-300 [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/c-300/69211"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/c-300/69211[/url]

the Alesis 3630 [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/alesis-3630/1580"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/alesis-3630/1580[/url]

and the dbx 266XL [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/266-xl/1625"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/266-xl/1625[/url]

would appreciate any experience/guidance with these, or if there are any other options that i should consider

thanks
