| Distressor or Fatso?????? I've been posting threads about what compressor to buy. I've decided on a Distressor or a Fatso. I know the Fatso is a minimal compressor/ tape emulator-type gadget. I'm looking for something that gives some nice "warm meaty color", but that can clean up nicely, if that's possible??? The main focus is going to be mostly on guitars, bass, and drums, but that would cover all ground if possible. What also attracts me to the Fatso is that it is 2 channels. The ideal situation would be to get them both, but that is not an option at the moment. Any help is gretly apprecitaed.

| can I ask why you can only get 1? The fatso is over 2k I think.... you can get 2 used distressors for that, or close! |

| A pair of distressors should cover all bases. The Fatso is quite limited- no attack/release adjustments. |
