WESTMINSTER EFFECTS

CALVIN COMPRESSOR

$170.00 USD

This is an old school OTA type that was literally invented by MXR with 

their DynaComp and cloned by ROSS. The ROSS circuit's topography 

circuit is simpler, more elegant and more transparent and 99% of all 

clones use it as a starting point.

The layout is Ratio, Level, Release and Attack, a toggle switches in 

a second voice.

            CONCLUSION ___

All compressors like all Overdrives have a 'sound'  plus a 

compromise in their dynamic range which gives them a 

different feel. As for this ones tone it is very pleasing in 

the demo. I have never found one in the serios budget

range that could pass the smell test. The biggest seller

is the Keeley Compressor+. The Origin Cali76 is the most 

coveted. All others are pretty much even in popularity

but most have cult followings. 

Since you asked my fave is the Universal Audio UAFX 1176 pedal that has a 'stacked'

setting. It is literally a clone of Jimmy Page's studio Comp rig of stacking
