I'm on the DE-CL waiting list knowing it will be 9 months+
I have been using a BBE Opto Stomp that works great.
Of course, great isn't good enough.
Seems like I could buy a decent compressor pedal used and then resell for pretty close to what I paid. These compressors all get good reviews both here and by Bongo. Any recommendations or others to consider?
Mark Bass - used about $125, no blend, has a compression indicator light and I do like the warmth of tubes so long as it doesn't get too dark
Duncan Studio Bass - About $125 - 150 on the used market, has a blend but no threshold LED, does run a 9 Volt battery
Diamond - More like $175 used and many say it contains magic; no blend but has a threshold indicator
Empress - Not so sure one can get out clean with a $200 used pedal that sells for $250 new; it does have great metering and blend
Keeley Bassist - No blend but does have indicator; probably can't buy and resell without spending a few $$
MXR - $125ish, no blend but everything else including 9 Volt operation, I get the vibe that they are good but maybe not as good as the above
Thoughts and suggestions?
TIA
