But! They can be fun anyway.

I have got a couple that I use during mixing, as a contrast to clean
and awesome sounding ones.

Joe Meek C2, kind of makes things sound more mushy
in a dull clean way.

Drawmer LX20, it is kind of defect sounding and it has fun expanders.

SPL Charisma, dont know if it's a comp, but it adds some kind of
ugly dist onto the sound.

Valley People Dynamite, sound like some kind of Manley Vari-Mu on
steroids that has been drowned.

Joe Meek SC2.2, clean sounding but it removes a lot of the high
freq end instruments.

Getting almost good comps can perhaps be a waste of money?

Best wishes
Bob,
