Best compressor in insert for SSL Alpha Channel Preamp?

Factorysounds · 22nd May 2009

After many suggestions in my previously topic here about M149 hot output, I bought SSL Alpha Channel preamp. Hot output problem is really solved and preamp is really good sounding. Maybe even too clear and transparent.

But I found that compressor is really missing for me in this chain. I tried TL Audio C1 in insert for compressor only , but I don't like the sound. Too thin and slow.
Generally, it is good idea put in SSL insert tube compressor or not?

Please give me any suggestions about good companion for SSL in insert for fast, good sounding compressor.

Thanks!

How about a Distressor or an RNC?

Have you tried abusing the lite limit compressor on the unit?

Distressor = very versatile and can do quick very well.

I received good words and suggestions that FMR PBC-6A is very similar to Distressor , but for more less price. What You think? It is alternative?
