any comments on the SAMSON S-Com Stereo Compressor/Limiter for a small FOH rack?
never heard of it before, but I can get one for dirt cheap and almost new.(I guess there's a reason why)
Would it be more of a waste of time or it's half decent?
Would use it for press conferences, mostly for speach, so need to be low noise!!

nah, cheap compressors and limiters are fine for live applications....but you gotta baby it and not throw it around or it will die....good live audio stuff is built more like a tank than a pretty sounding one.

it will sit in a gator case, I just don't want another piece of gear that doesn't do what it is supposed to do.

How's the quality? I just can't find any reviews on that unit

I would actually look into either a dbx or Behringer unit personally. I'm not a huge Samson fan at all when it comes to gear like that.

I got the T1953 I agree on that Noize2u, even for $50, better save it to get something better.

I use the S-Com, it's very respectable. Samson really took some time to develop some nice equipment in their 'blue' line of products.

I run one next to 2 DBX of a comperable nature... I actually prefer the samson to the DBX166XL.

I'm not a fan of the Behringer Compressors/Effects/Tube Pres etc...I feel they sometimes cut a few too many corners to make the product ultra cheap.

If you can get it cheap, go for it. If you don't buy it, I'd be interested in adding another S-com to the ole rack.
