Thank you for the compliment. I have only compared the double wide to a bunch of other 500 series compressors. But not to my 19” Gates Retro Sta-level “yet”
There is a higher noise floor and I've been meaning to address this with Chandler. I had no idea that this was a common issue. I will say that it's hardly noticeable when I'm tracking bass but it is there if you crank the gain and listen closely when not playing.
The Retro is tube and the Chandler is solid state. Both sound different. Apples and Oranges. I think the low-end extension on the Chandler is deeper hence why I chose it for the channel focused on that spectrum however the Retro has that tube-based sound and I chose it for my dirty channel. They both complement each other.
Thanks! Musictech said that the TG Opto ate some of the low end. I guess they're not accurate in their reviews. Others have liked the TG Opto for bass. @@ManCaveStudio
It's a great compressor in my book. I read some mixed reviews however in my shootout I chose the Retro over many other brands. I am using this for bass so results may vary in other applications.
And some say "500 series gear isnt as good as 19" rack gear"?? This sounds phat!🔥
Thank you :)
I came to check out the gears.. Stayed for that groove! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Nice playing!!! Sounded awesome. Gave me a Jane's Addiction vibe. Love it!! Well done man.
Thank you!
Great sounds and great playing
Thank you!
Love the sound, I keep coming back. How you compared the Retro Intruments Double wide II if not what do you think?

I know this is unrelated but very nice drum sounds! Am interested to know your drum processing chain if there's any. Also nice bass tones!
The drums came from a pre-recorded drum sample pack. :)
Is the chandler compatible with the Neve R6 . I’ve heard a lot of issue , like hum and high noise floor.. Does it work for you?

If you had to pick the Retro or Chandler, which one would you choose? I'm going back and forth between the two.

What are your thoughts on the retro compressor?
It's a great compressor in my book. I read some mixed reviews however in my shootout I chose the Retro over many other brands. I am using this for bass so results may vary in other applications.
What are you using to split the signal?
Boss LS-2 However in this video I used a bass which has two outputs so I did not need to use the Boss LS-2.
Que bien que suenan esa batería y ese bajo
Thank you!
