This site is quite amazing

An amazing effort to compile this level of information. Throughly reccomend end.

Good read & not just for Bass.

If there is a better Bass Compressor than the Diamond I would like to hear it.

The yellow one?

I'll buy an optical compressor sooner rather than later, but ... yeah I can't quite spring for that wonderful piece of pedalboard decoration.

Occasional 2nd hand one on TalkBass
Worth the investment I feel.

I look for stuff like that on the ol' electronic bay. Everything I've read or watched suggests it's an awesome piece of kit but it's just not in sight yet lol

Bongo is no longer updating the site. A supreme effort to gather that level of information. Well done that man.

Diamond Bass Compressor Jr about ready to ship

I wonder if a NZ retailer will stock them.

You used to be able to buy diamond stuff off guitarparts.co.nz :/

He's in Aussie now , I think tone garage is doing diamond

Cheers lads

Never been able to gel with bass compressors, I suspect reducing dynamic range is just a non-starter in the styles I play.

I find that in general i don't get on with bass or guitar compressor pedals. I think it's far better to compress after the microphone like you would in a studio

I gave the big rig a bit of a go today
And I'm definitely in favor of a high quality comp pedal

It may not be the correct term but used in the 'right' way there is certainly a benefit in body or fullness of tone.

Anyone use a VCA Comp for Bass Guitar?

Faffing around with one at the moment, not sure quite what is going on but definitely like it on the top end
