I'm getting back into pedal building and would like to make myself a bass compressor. I've been reading around a bit on this and other forums and like anything, everyone has a different opinion. The one piece of advice I keep picking up on, though, is to have an idea of what "kind" of compressor sound would be best for you.
So here, goes: I'm looking for more of a tone machine kind of compressor that tightens up the sound and makes me a little bit more pronounced in the mix while giving me some sustain. I've had the EBS multicomp and I feel like it gives me that tight sound that stands out in the mix, but doesn't quite have the sustain. I have a Ross for guitar which has a very nice sustain to it, but doesn't keep the low end frequencies.
Any advice based on that? I've found some Diamond clone schematics, but I would have to build that on vero and overall that looks like too ambitious of a project. So, def looking for something a little less complicated.
What do you think?
