FC21 Optical Compressor : Adds artifacts

2 years ago

As I have limited space on my pedalboard, and limited budget I went for compressor and gate from Flamma. The compressor I find starts to add some strange artifacts when sound starts to fade. This is when compression is above 10-11 o’clock and with gain up on the amp. It also adds a lot of hiss, which got better when putting the gate after it in the chain. With the gate before or after the pedal is useless. With the gate after and dialing it down it’s usable, but not great. Will look for a better option pretty soon.
