Never been much of a compressor guy. I always figured, if I'm playing a show then I'm likely going into their board and they will have a compressor that I go through for bass. Either that or I go into a studio and they will compress me while recording anyway.

But I was advised to get one to compress the signal a bit before it runs through the rest of my effects for greater overall consistency, so I snagged this one used locally for half of what it is new, and it's in great shape.

Heard the thing was great for guitar and bass (with the exception of maybe 5 string actives), which is essentially what I've been building my pedalboard to do. Anyone else use or ever used one of the Keeley 4 knob compressors? I've noticed there are quite a few different looks to them but they seem to all be the same internally.

Re: NPD

Great deal. I have one I usually use on my bass rig. Knob designations are fairly self explanatory. I use it at the front of my pedal setup and dial in a good clean sound that is the same level with either the pedal on or off. When you turn it on, you won't notice any overt tonal difference in the sound, it should just tighten it up a bit, and if you set it to do so, add more clean sustain. Though when I use it on my bass, as opposed to guitar, I set it to cut the sustain which seems to give me more punch.
