Fat General Parallel Compr. : The blend knob is it

2 years ago

I have always used a DynaComp. I got a Boss CS-3, sold it. I got a Keeley Compressor+, also sold it.

This one I'll keep. To be honest, it the DynaComp had a blend knob, I would use it, and only it, but I wanted something more transparent, which the DynaComp, on it's best day, is not.

It's got a great build, strong knobs, nice clicky button and the blend switch is a great function. When it's turned to the blend side, you use the blend knob for a wet/dry mix, when it's turned to the juicy side, it's a constant 90/10 split towards wet. I just set the knob that my choice solo blend, and turn to the juicy side for funky rythm parts. No fiddling around with knobs, I just push it with my foot.
