HAlp! I need some advice regarding a good compressor to run in my rig for live use. I have had some issues with my effects chain causing some peaks (fuzz, phaser, dist and wah on at once=peak limiter in FOH on a LOT), and basically having to reign in my dynamics to avoid quite stuff dissapearing and it peaking when i beat the crap out of my strings. So i need a compressor. What is the best way to go in terms of qualit/vaue/ease of use?
My rig is Sure digital wireless on my board, then effects, then a Markbass ta503. I think the comp would go either at the end of my effects chain if its a stomp box, or possibly in the effects loop if its a rack unit. Looking at the dbx 166xl for that.
What is the advantage of rack versus stomp box? will i want to turn the thing on and off like other effects or just leave it on as a limiter/light compression the whole time in my rack?
Opinions please......and GO!
