Thank you so much for this video and many others, Josh.

I had heard of JHS pedals before, but I have to say, you have really made me a fan with your awesome personality and willingness to educate while also just being yourself and an overall great person. Great pick for record time today, I can honestly say that album helped me through a lot. While I normally don't go for the big radio hits, I can't help but love Once in a Lifetime from this album. It's so fun, and quirky, and has so much energy... It's just a fantastic song. Byrne is still light-years ahead of his time.

I've been in the music industry in the recording side for many years. But what's amazing to me is when I meet people like Josh. He was very approachable very nice to talk to and from one engineer to another it was a pleasure. It's cool to see the people making the gear and the people on KZfaq are more famous than the snooty musicians that use their gear. Josh it was a pleasure to meet you, and you're a true gentleman.

@OtherTheDave 5 жыл бұрын
They’re potentially useful at _almost_ any step in the signal chain, and very useful in live situations as well as in the studio! I can’t remember the last time I did a mix that didn’t involve _some_ compression _somewhere_ (and that includes monitor mixes, too). Just don’t over do it or things will sound weird. Knowing exactly what “over doing it” means is a topic that could fill a book. Fortunately, in the context of guitar pedals being used in guitar rigs, there’s an easy 2-step process: 1) If your guitar sounds more like the way you want it to with the compressor than it does without, it’s probably fine. 2) If you’re still in doubt, back off the compression knob a bit and return to step 1.

Well, they also ALWAYS add it in studio to everything. The best way to understand compressors is just to try them, and to do so in every part of the effect chain, since they're really versatile.

You just have to learn to picture the chain in your head, start with the least effecting into more dramatic, say drive into phaser will be powered but swishy is last say on the matter, phaser into drive has over all distortion but swishy internals, eventually everything becomes a preamp, and all you want is a preamp, they make the clover for that
@markferguson3745 3 жыл бұрын
That's why the blend is important; before that was a common feature, it really was only viable to place before drives, where the effect is NOT subtle; placed after, with a decent dry level, you can retain dynamics while increasing sustain.

dB relates to the volume of the signal, yes? If so, it’s great that this graph and chart illustrate how the loudest sound in the signal gets compressed down, but (when the threshold is exceeded and compression is active) are notes played quietly brought up to that same threshold? Take the example of when the knob sets the threshold at 9 dB. The signal peak is at 10dB, so there is (1) dB of compression....Is there also up to 8dB of “lift” / raise in level of signal below the threshold?

ALright guys , this one is a winner , Im not a big pedal freak but Have to research it for my current project. These sounds you are playing are so tight , the smart use of distortion , great playing and anything that gets even alittle close to sounding like The strokes or Interpol gets my money , peace to you both

INXS “Need You Tonight”. It was one of the first times I thought I was hearing an effect because my Strat wouldn’t spank like that no matter what I did to my amp.

I thought there was nothing more to learn about guitar compression. I stand corrected. Excellent layout.

Bought the Pulp n Peel V4 and I cannot recommend it enough to my musician friends. I use it paired with Keeley Darkside workstation and it just makes my Jazzmaster sound amazing! Big thanks to JHS for making great pedals. Also, great vid. I understand compression a lot more than I thought I did. It’s super awesome to come back to these JHS videos whenever I need them.

One sign of a GENIUS is someone who can take a difficult subject and explain it in a way anyone can understand out of all the Compression videos yours my friend is finally one that is understandable now I get it thank you

Thanks Josh. That clarified a few things I was missing. I just picked up a Wampler Ego v2, but haven't quite figured it out yet.

Totally agree with your approach to compression. And Gilmour Girl is superb, original yet a nod to one of the masters.

I never comment on videos but felt like I had to. As someone whose only been playing a few years and just getting into pedals, your videos are incredibly helpful to understand what they do and how they work. Much appreciated

SUPERB video. Funny, engaging, honest. But soooo informative. I'm a veteran and a self confessed volume knob only snob. Having realised lately how much this has limited my playing over the years I've realised how narrow minded I've been. This video explained in such plain terms what I needed to know about compression and where to spend my money on pedals. You have no idea how valuable this video has been for me. Thank you!

I like using compression to even out my signal when switching between pickups, going from clean to overdrive, etc. Really helps out the sound guy!

I've tried a bunch of compressors, and find that ones with a blend control sound best. I'm currently using The Warden Compressor by Earthquaker Deicives which you mentioned. I have it as a subtle always on effect. Thanks for the video, Josh. It was great and I'm liking the new jam section format to the videos.

This was one of the best tutorials on compression ive seen. Not just pedal compression but compression in general. Clear and used audible examples. Could have used this 2 decades ago.
@tsunayoshisawada6828 8 ай бұрын
As someone who's a begginer at exploring pedal and amp effects, (just your regular acoustic guitar player who plans to play electric as well) this is really helpful. Understanding what each pedals do, how each of its knobs function and even the simplified explanation to the point that even a beginner would understand, thank you for all these stuff. Perhaps not right now, but when i have the chance, i'll buy pedal from you guys. GODBLESS y'all~
