Are you still using the Fender Downtown Express? I owned it for a while and kind of regret selling it. I found it a little hard to dial in what I wanted but I did like the compression.
I prefer to have individual control of attack, release, ratio and threshold, as well as an led/indicator that shows how much compression is being used. Also, a compressor should not color your tone. For these reasons I prefer the MXR M87 Bass Compressor. I’m surprised that this pedal didn’t make your top 5 list. 🤷🏻♂️
I have the Maxon cp9pro+, only threshold, ratio and gain control but studio quality compression. Internal circuit which transforms the 9v into 18v, no modification of the sound just the dynamics, a little expensive but try it and you will see!
I use the multi band compressor on my LR Baggs Stadium DI.. works ok and doesn’t color my tone.. I also get the other benefits of the pedal btw: I have bought and sold many comp pedals and I found most to be useable.. some were way to noisy for me
I would love to see how my ears would react to the sound of a pleasant bass compressor. Just like the ones that are mentioned on this video. In other words, I'll like the voice to just be muted. Thanks.
Great vid… I have a rack mount DBX 160X and I’ve always wondered about getting a pedal for a different kind. I have 2 fx paths… a mono path with the DBX , And then a stereo fx loop path for modulation fx. I wonder about a compressor somewhere else in my path.

I have the Keeley and like it's simplicity. Very easy to dial in what you want in compression.
Ditto,love it
I own both the Hyper Luminal and Origin Compact Bass and they're great.But another that should have been included is the Empress Compressor Bass.
I'm currently using a JHS Pulp N Peel. It sounds really good and has a built in DI as well as a built in distortion circuit based on a PROCO Rat
I've got the Darkglass Hyperliminal and it's fantastic.
I switch between my MXR bass compressor and the Fender Downtown Express compressor. The MXR is a peak compression, the Fender is RMS compression 👍🏻

I'm going to buy the Boss bass comp thanks for the vid!
Mxr dyna comp bass mini..... absolutely awesome

agreed
I use the 1176 from Universal Audio, it's simply amazing 🔥🎶🎵👏🏽👏🏽 Excellent video 💪🏽💪🏽
Will a compressor affect dynamics?
Yes. That's their purpose.
What do you recommend for an active bass?

The Stadium is a genius design for the battery check and so much more!

I adore my Taurus TUX SL
Compressed other people's videos, too.
I want that bass
Original Diamond Bass Comp.
What? No Empress Bass Compressor? Seems like a big omission.
Nothing wrong with the Bass Preacher.
::crickets::
Talks through all the sound demo. Can’t hear any of the actual pedals or the effect. Talking the mentored time.
Worthless waste of time.
Why call them Bass Compressors? A compressor doesn’t work on specific frequencies, so a good comp wil work well on any source.
Because the parameters matter and can me bass specific
