Redoing the compressor?

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Well what do you think of this idea.
Two in one comp, level and compressionx2.
No threshold or attack knob, just switchable between two modes.
The box will be like the old 9v line, almost as flat too, not thetall box that it uses now.
Would that work for you guys??

I'm now a dedicated compression user!

Would the compressors be stackable, or independent, say one for rhythm and one for lead? Would it be footswitchable?

I think it's an interesting idea!!

Yep two independent ones, no stacking as it would become most noisy and squashed into total mush
On off and switchable between the two settings.

I think that's an idea with lots of potential!

I don't know...if the presets don't exactly match what someone wants then s/he is out of luck. I have found that I like to tweak the attack knob a bit depending on what guitar I am using and how loud I am playing. If you had internal pots that you could use to dial in the presets, that might help a bit, but I think tweakability is a nice thing in a compressor.

Well we still have our four knob one with threshold and attack
Can't please all
Most like the simple layout in live situations really.

That's exactly what I was thinking ... for live use, you have one compressor for clean or rhythm and another for OD or solos, not really for studio tinkering.

Yep it would be very convinient for live usage.
We will also make one with a blend knob...well it is already blending, but some seems to like the idea of a parallel signal as well

I'd like a compressor with a parmetric EQ, preferably multiband. Don't know whether it fits into a box, though?

Heh guess not...and about -2000% customers
That sounds like a rackmounted thing Marin
