Compressor Showdown Poll
Which is your choice of the best compressor? If other name it please! I'm just trying to decide if I should convert, that's all!

How can you have a compressor showdown without including the Barber Tone Press?

Or the HBE Retro or the Diamond or the Boss CS-3 or......

Seriously though, if you like the Keeley and the Analogman you should check out the HBE Comp Retro. One of my favorites.
Oh yeah, I have a Barber Tone Press on my main board

BJF Pine Green compressor for me. I think my second choice would be the Tone Press.

I love the AM Bi-Comp. It's got two distinct sounds in a small box. Not "transparent", but beautifully colored.

I've been using a Keeley Comp for a while now but I just bought a Barber Tone Press based on the many recommendations from TGP members. I'll give you my opinion after I receive the Tone Press.

Another vote for the Barber Tone Press here.

It's popular for a reason!
