Winter NAMM 2012 News
I've been using the TC Electronic Finalizer 96K for about a year. It is one of my favorite compressors and have always heard good things from other people about how much they like it. It it one of many compressors that I use, but if I only had to use one this certainly wouldn't be a bad choice. I can't say enough about the unique warmth that t...
My big complaint I guess is the size. For such a wacky effect, it takes up a ton of board space. For this reason I see it as more of a studio pedal and I only take it to gigs where I know I'm gonna need it. I'm not omar from The mars volta with some massive pedal board. If you want a classic ring mod and not someone's version of it, I would ...
You aren’t going to find too many dual channel compressors with a sound like the JDK Audio R22 Compressor for the price. Compressors are definitely getting cheaper and cheaper but this is definitely a professional piece of gear with a unique sound and make up to bring to table. I’d recommend it as a go to compressor in a home studio or one of ...
It's not going to be cheap to get your hands on a Klark Teknik DN 500 , but you're always going to have to pay for quality, and especially when we're talking about a top tier tube limiter. This is a front end piece for your professional or home studio and can be useful all over the map. Most home studio owners won't be able to afford a piece lik...
I have had this for 1 year. The best thing about this effect is, again, everything, and i mean everything that is sent through this sounds crazy cool. I don't think there is anything I don't like about this pedal. I did try the ring mod effect in the Boss ME-50 pedal, and thought it was ok, but this thing kicked its digital butt with glistening ...
I've been using the Lexicon LXP 15 for about three years and I have come to like it for its convenience of having so many different effects in one hardware unit and plug-in combined. The price of this is really inexpensive and makes it a great deal. Lexicon makes some great effect processors, and even though this is somewhat low end model, it is...
I've been using the Alessis Microverb 4 digital reverb for about four or five years and while it has served me well and has been useful, I don't use it all that much for a simple reason. While the sound quality of this unit is pretty good, unless an outboard reverb is top notch, I find myself using plug-ins more and more as I have found some rev...
I've been using the Joemeek SC2.2 for a few years. They are a real cheap option for the home studio owner who wants a few compressors to use for tracking. They sound good and are easy to use, while being quite well built and reliable in terms of it not breaking down. I like this model better than the Joemeek SC2.2 , but they are pretty similar ...
I've been using the DBX Quantum for about a year and its become one of my favorite compressors to use whenever I have the chance to use it. Its great to have two high quality compressors in one casing that are both versatile and easy to use. The price of the DBX Quantum is pretty expensive, but Avalon makes high end gear for professionals lookin...
I've been using the Avalon AD 2044 for about a year now. I had been previously familiar with the Avalon AD 2044 , which I still prefer to this one. However, it is nice to have 2 channels on this and is convenient when compression stereo pairs. What I like most about this compressor is the clean signal it produces and the amount of flexibility...
