Alternatives to Chameleon Labs - 7720

montanasan · 12th September 2008

I'm considering buying the Chameleon Labs 7720 stereo comp but just want to make sure I'm not missing out on any better alternatives in the same price range. I've read all about the Chameleon Labs - 7720 on here and know what it is capable of so if there's anything else out there I should be considering please enlighten me.
Also, are Funky Junk the only people selling it here in the UK?
Thanks in advance, joe.

i haven't heard the compressor yet, but if the quality is anything like the preamps, i don't think there is much in that price range that would be much better. The build quality on the chamleleon stuff is great and for the price you can't beat it. maybe the compressor sounds terrible i don't know, i'm just going on reuptation here, but i'd stick with them for that price.

It seems to be a stand out in its range, for what it does I can't think of another priced similarly.

What are you using it on, just mix buss?

That was the plan War.
The problem is though, I have the money to spend and am torn between what to buy next. The choices are CL 7720 or a Lexicon PCM70. I'm going to get both eventually.
I already have a couple of LA4's, a couple of Summit TLA-50's, an Avalon 737SP, and four ADR S31 comps. I only have one outboard reverb unit, PCM60 at the moment, and that's why I'm not sure whether I should be getting another reverb first. Am I just answering my own question? Hmm...
