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

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 switch between my MXR bass compressor and the Fender Downtown Express compressor. The MXR is a peak compression, the Fender is RMS compression 👍🏻

I've got the Darkglass Hyperliminal and it's fantastic.
Mxr dyna comp bass mini..... absolutely awesome

Definitely one of the most transparent compressors pedals made, and preferable to many on this list.
I love my m87!
agreed
I'm going to buy the Boss bass comp thanks for the vid!
Compressed other people's videos, too.

I want that bass
Will a compressor affect dynamics?
Yes. That's their purpose.
It's a shame that the pedals are so absurdly overpriced.
I'd rather have an HX STomp. All in one and MUCH more flexible.
Nothing wrong with the Bass Preacher.

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
