Cheap compressor reccommendations?

Longtallronnie

Been thinking lately that I could do with a compressor, something cheap, easy to use and fairly transparent. And cheap. Did I mention it needs to cheap?

Mooer Yellow compressor. It's cheap, fairly transparent, and cheap. And it's nice and small, and quite cheap.

Biyang Compress X. Not necessarily transparent but a very good clone of the industry standard Dyna Comp but with a lot less noise and a very low price tag.

Pick up a Marshall one. They’re brilliant and cheap. Toured one for 6 years before the days of pedalboard builds and it never let me down. Still got it.

Plus one for Edward the compressor, I asked on here and it was recommended, picked mine up from @grunfeld and use it loads.  Good range of compression available.

I've got a Mooer Yellow comp you can have for £10.

It had an intermittent fault where it wouldn't pass any signal. Strangely if you pressed down on the 2 small control knobs it would rectify the problem. My solution was to use a cable tie pulled tight around the casing over the 2 small control knobs applying downward pressure. Since I done this I haven't had any further problems.

It may be an easy fix if your handy with stuff like that.

Thanks for the recommendations, the mooer looks worth a go. Thanks for the offer @kennedydream1980 but I'm guessing it's gonna be smd inside, too fiddly for me to work with!
