looking for a transparent affordable high end compressor... - Page 2

BUZZ SOC is great - smooth and great for acoustic instruments. Had one - sold it -bought one again. Nathan, I believe, still has a couple in stock. WHY? I do not understand. At $1000 a channel it is as good as any for what it does. (Others are different of course).

Probably not for super rockers. But for acoustic folks, it is fabulous.

If you're looking for (cheap / transparent) x versatile = n

n = aphex 651

If you do a J. Williams mod, its an n+1

I think the 5043 in ff mode is kinda transparent. The signal path is not so much, but the compressor action can be fairly transparent.

Still shooting for the $2k range, although some transformer options will likely be more than that.
