Providence, Xotic, SHO, Archer..... choices choices choices....

Ah, a connundrum indeed. 

Been offered a Providence Compressor for a sweet price but I was set on an Xotic SP.

I was set on a SHO Clone as I've always loved that sound on a clean channel but that Rockett Archer sounds fantastic. Do I really "need" a drive pedal with a 4 channel amp??

Le sigh....Plus I really want that Orange PRS.....

RaymondLin

Get that Orange PRS, the rest can be had easy enough other times!

Deijavoo

Nowhere near enough money for that just now...

Deijavoo

Feel free to buy me it and I can pay you back? :-)

If I buy it, I'll keep it

Deijavoo

How about a finance scheme?

RaymondLin

Lol that's between you and the seller

If it helps - I'm selling a SP Compressor as well....

Throw it in with guitar for £300 mate!!?!?

Deijavoo

I've never been a PRS fan but that is one serious cool guitar and deal mate.

If it helps, when I tried the providence I was completely blown away by how completely average it was. 

I was expecting something really quite magical from hype and price, but it was just a good compressor.  I wouldn't go bananas trying to get one unless you've tried it and have a different view to me!

Deijavoo

I haven't tried it but the good Lance Keltner is a bloody good salesman. I reckon he could play a broken Encore with one string straight into a broken pa and I'd be blown away though.

I really love the SP. 

It's teeny, really well made and sounds great. 

Deijavoo

Comps always seem like a lot of money for what they do until you get one and then...yeah worth it.

Deijavoo

SHO clone ahoy, Providence Comp maybe.....

Dude's gone silent on me and I know he's away for a fortnight tomorrow.  Shame as he was offering a cool deal. Changed his mind once before though. 

I should just bite the bullet and get a Cali76.....

Check out MXR's Bass Compressor.  I've read somewhere that it uses the same or similar chipset to the Cali.  It has lots of controls like the Cali 76, it also has the LED lights as well.  People use it for Bass and Guitar so it is not exclusive for Bass.

After a lot of demos on ye olde YouTube I'm really liking the Suhr Koji actually. Seems very flexible indeed but a little out of my range.

JohnPerry

The Koji is wonderful and as close to my old Cali76 as I've got after owning a few including the xotic sp and diamond

Deijavoo

I'd absolutely love a Cali but it's so expensive and HUGE! These Koji pedals are hard to get used it seems. A guy I Oz has one but he wants new prices to end his auction early on evilBay.

Koji is excellent. Worth saving for IMO.

Deijavoo

I must have listened to every compressor ever made on YouTube now....surely.....

Yeah it does sound good to me.
