Compressors
Alright, I am buying a compressor and need to decide between the Tapco Squeez the dbx 266XL and the Alesis 3630. If anyone has an argument either way spill it here.

Re: Compressors
With my limited knowledge, I'd go with dbx, they seem the most reliable and best sounding. I have the Alesis 3630 here at home, and have been less than pleased with it.

By the way, shop around and see who has the best deal. Call a few places too; don't just look at online resellers.

Re: Compressors
Northernsound.net will give you a good deal, but you have to call/email them for it, because their prices are below the minimum advertised price.

Re: Compressors
From what I've seen, DBX compressors are really an industry standard. The sound-heavy touring shows that come through my university almost always spec DBX 160 compressors.
Not that DBX processing is always the best on the market, though. We were looking for a system processor and did a shootout between the DBX Driverack and the BSS Omnidrive. Everyone agreed that the Omnidrive sounded better with the same settings.
