Great bass compressor

I've been using the Punch Factory in my bass rig for several years now, and I can't recommend it enough. It's a great transparent compressor, which is a good thing. A lot of other compressors squash tone and kill all dynamics. Not so with the Punch Factory. Once you get it dialed in (a fairly simple process) it helps clean up any variance in your attack, without being too obvious. It's a very handy tool for thumb work, making your slap and pop attacks mesh better without sacrificing tone and dynamics. Also helps bring bass out in a live mix setting by giving it a little extra "oomph". It's a sturdy unit, the only gripe I would have is that the entire bottom of the unit must be removed to switch out 9 volts, and i've stripped a couple of screws in the two years that i've had mine. However, since it's an Aphex product, it can take pretty much any AC adapter, so it's not really an issue. I recommend it!
