Forcefield Compressor : Almost Unbelievable...

I needed a compressor for 3 uses:

-as a country guitar "spanky" effect

-as an always on bass compressor

-as outboard gear for recording and mixing.

I found it extremely pleasing at everything, I've used it on

active 5-string bass, fretless hollow 4-string bass,

el.guitars tuned from C standard to high A standard,

and recording vocals and drums.

The Attack knob does wonders and along with the sustain knob

you can have from mild, really spanky compression to ironing limiting.

Unfortunately unless you have the sustain knob past 9 o'clock,

the level knob won't actually boost the volume, so you can't

have it set to a very slight compression without volume loss.

Well, it's not a problem for me, a lot of classic and more expensive compressors have the same issue.

Finally, it doesn't color the tone much, I find that it only reduces the really extreme and harsh treble you'd never want, also it does have the feeling of a real, hardware compressor, most of the times in the studio I prefer it to any plugin.

I'm definitely buying another one!
