Title: Looking for GOOD guitar compressor
Post by: Colas LeGrippa on January 27, 2021, 02:34:47 pm: Hola amigos,

I am looking for a professional compressor for guitar. Maybe between a rackmount and a n MXR. Any idea, suggestion ?

~~I think these can be found pretty cheap on Ebay.~~
Rocktron 300 G Compressor/Limiter/Hush Black | Lou's Gear Emporium | Reverb (https://reverb.com/item/28845614-rocktron-300-g-compressor-limiter-hush-black)
I though they would be on Ebay but when I looked, nothing.
Mine is sitting here not being used.

I'd be interested buying it if in good condition

Post by: SILVERGUN on January 28, 2021, 07:33:22 pm: I'll have to see if I can find the power supply and test it out.I would only want like $40 plus shipping. It's in $40 condition.

The more I thought about this the more I think I might be wrong.My Heyday was 20 years ago and I bought this close to 25 years ago.
You'd think they would've come out with something better since then.
What's your goal with it?Sustain? Boost? something else?

Post by: Colas LeGrippa on January 29, 2021, 10:57:17 am: My first goal is to increase my guitar sustain level. I want to use it for recording as wel, for voice and overall compression. I don t mind about scratches and cracked or missing knobs.
If it works properly, I.am your buyer
