Awesome compressor for Hip Hop drums, works better on slower tracks imo.

It can make drums sound punchy, smooth or gritty.

Cheers for the responses.

So is the price about right or a steal as no one seems to have a bad thing to say about, apart from possibly its quite limited.

The boiler turned up today!!!

It's absolutely mint. I think it's an early version, slightly different colour and with turned aluminum knobs. Serial B0099 or something close (it went straight in the rack)

It sounds great but I am finding it tricky to set.

Any tips? I don't have the manual but while the controls are pretty self explanatory I'm not quite getting the setup yet.

congrats!, it's a decent price, they normally go for £400-450. an interesting comp, used to have one awhile back.

Is it the black face one? Those are even meaner.
I'm still lusting for one. It's the "compressor that got away".

Got an "original" blackface Ridge Farm Boiler today...

Any sound clips out there ? tried to find some but could not so far..

[remote337]

No Mine is a green faced one so not that early.

Anyway, call off the search the excellent Ann Needham from Ridge farm has mailed backed to say they will sort me out a manual!!


Now thats customer service considering i didnt buy it new from them!
