,,, for rock stuff/electronica they are great to have.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear. Maybe there's a mod to make them quieter.

Yes!!! That is awwwwwesome, man, I want one.
Needless to say, there will certainly be a few reamps involved.

Smashy, on the cheap: that oddly shaped, blue Alesis compressor they had out for a few years. i forget what it's name was. it could get pretty nasty. The Alesis Smashup. You know, it WAS on the list, but I guess that it can't be used in parrallel because of a delay in the signal. The whole thing ki...

Yep, I'm planning on using the smashers for some very aggressive non-synth samples. I plan on doing a lot of smashing in parrallell. Curious, which "one or two great compressors" would you recommend in the 1k range?

Does this list cover most basic needs for compression? Are any two of these comps similar enough to remove one? ThanX! Compression: Art Pro VLA II -or- HHB Fatman Ashly Blueface SC-50 or SC-55 Ashly CLX-52 DBX 160XT - (vox) DBX 160X - (drums) DBX 163X - (bass, guitar) Drawmer DL241 Electro Harmonix ...

(as per suggestion of Mr. Hamilton himself)

Just got a "rectangled-buttoned" 501 so I'm kinda curious as well. Been waiting to grab a 501 for a loooooong time now

Hey, why does it have tp say "ass engineer" under my Avatar!?! Man, I've really got to start posting more.

I bet it works.

You bet your a$$ it does, very well in fact. Super squishy and musical. A good bit noisy, but probably unlike anything else out there, IF you can find one. I won't be parting with mine for anything less than $150. Seriously.

Are you guys familiar with these HHB Fatmans? Seems like it would be a good competitor in the same price range. Any thoughts? http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/fat-man-tube-compressor-hhb-radius-tl-88006129 http://worthopedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumbnails2/1/0909/19/1_15a25223820a9a22a064e6...

Willing to pay up to $60 + shipping for a signal tracer, maybe $100 for a modified one, let me know if you have one!

There is a parts list (with prices) right on the article you linked to. Can you please post a link to the URL? My browser doesn't show it for some reason :( This is awesome news, Been waiting for a cheap alternative to run my mics & tracks through all kinds of stompboxes and old Hi-Z gear. Awesome.

It would be awesome to reamp on the cheap, anyone ever tried this? How much does it cost in the end? Is there somewhere I can find a parts list? Would anyone recommend using a better transformer?

Looking to spend $400 + shipping for a used pair, hit me up!

Bummmmp!
