Title: Why does the Fatso Jr. chill my blood and the 1968ME rock my balls?

I'm getting in way over my head.  Like why does some gear suck and other gear rock?

Anyone try the STC-8 as a bus compressor?  Reports?

The STC-8 is a great bus compressor... and I have no idea what you're talking about vis a vis the FATSO Jr.  I have found that thing to be a life saving Godsend on so many occasions I can't begin to count them.

Peace.

consider sending it in for service if it sounds really bad to you.  Maybe it has a bad whizzzigig.

...or YMMV...

Perhaps the problem is that he's expecting the FATSO Jr. to do "alchemy" [as in fix things that can't be fixed]... or is trying to employ the tool in an incorrect application.  I've found it to be very well applicable to "rounding" out a sound that seems to have some 'jagged edged'... but its not a "buss compressor" by any stretch of the imagination [though it can perform the function, I have rarely found it to be the best application of the tool].

Peace.
