If you want to try a hardware LA-2Aish compressor, keep your eyes peeled for a Peavey VC/L-2. These were only made for a short time but can be had for a very reasonable price, thanks to the Peavey name being on it. THey are slowly coming up in price as people are discovering it. Here is a link for your reading pleasure.

definitely worth the money.. i've never run into any problems with them as far as bass instruments go.. and yeah i agree it is nearly impossible to use them as an effect.. they can maybe get into the "trashy" category if you set them right (or wrong), but nothing that is just amazing.Kasey wrote:I use RNC's too, and while they are lovely and especially incredible considering their price, I can't say they are great at everything. Firstly, they are notorious for being weak with bass instruments. Secondly, I haven't found them very useful as "effect" compressors. they can't smash my drums quite like I wish they could... i reach for other compressors for that (though admittedly none of my compressors truly make me happy in the category).lionaudio wrote:i swear by the RNC's.. i have four and they are great for everything.. and used in "really nice" mode, they are great for mastering compression.. definitely not a "vintage" sound though.. they add very little colorationjckinnick wrote:What about the RCA Really Nice Compressor ive heard theyre pretty good.
No mean to bash on them, i love my RNC's! I just don't think they're great for everything. No doubt worth the money though, or even double the money.
