When I get to the compressor I keep saying “dip switches” when I of course meant toggle switches. 🤦🏻‍♂️ You guys know what’s up though. 🙏

Thank you so much for having a go at our pedals, Janek. For someone who didn't read the manuals (who does?), you got most things right just by listening and intuition. Just a few pointers, on the 'Ground & Pound', the Clean side of the Mix has very light compression. This helps with melding the clean and distorted signals together in a more organic way. I like this pedal better, played with a pick on a lower gain setting or a grindier tone but, as you can see, it can get nastier. (I forgot to mention, this design was inspired by Justin Chancellor and the distortion has a V shape EQ on it). The Alma Comp's EQZ switch changes the center point from where the EQZ control will act upon. The Alma, when powered with 18v can run, internally, on 36v due to its Voltage Doubling capabilities. This is especially helpful for hotter instruments. Thank you once again Janek, it was a good surprise to wake up to this video!!!

I'd like to take a moment to thank Pedal Studio for enabling my addictive personality to splurge on pedals, instead of various chemical substances. Which is more fun, you may ask? The jury is still out, but at the very least I still have my pedals and dignity at the end of the night.

Love your demo of the compressor in particular. Super nice.

That bass is killer !!!!

When you mentioned the disto being based on a Proco RAT I thought of Justin Chancellor and lo' and behold you got there around midway through the video. Love how raw Chancellor's approach to bass playing is. I love that he often trades the lead role with Adam. His board is far from easy to replicate haha. Regarding the demos, I appreciated enough to subscribe. I trained as a healthcare professional so my music training was sacrificed at the expense of my medical training but my approach to music is very scientific all the while knowing that it is an artform. I appreciate your approach which to me is both artistic and scientific at the same time. I approach many artforms this way like cooking for example; both an art and a science. I digress, for what it's worth, great job!

Another killer job Janek!! Thx for doin' what you do and bringing what you bring to us all. (feel better soon too)

Hello Janek, 'compressor freak' here (have lots of different ones), I agree with you, explaining sound with words is quiet... inadapted, but explaining 'Compression' is another animal & they all sound different and have their own perks. I rarelly use them for 'dynamics', more like an aesthetic ,choice Thank you for sharing your experience, take care and have a great day! ps I do come from "Lusitania", lol!

sick sound!

the dad coughs made my day

Sound great! 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍

What is that Harmonizer that is used in 6:45? This pedal sound is out of this world

Hi Janek, hope this find you well. Would be nice of you if you could do a personal review about the ampeg venture. Thanks

Harmony + GnP + Verb = Stank face

Go to the walker art center or the minneapolis institute of art - they are both world class museums

So is there a chance you can compare the stomp with the zoom b6. as a bass player, I was drawn to the zoom due to it being easier to build patches. I’m interested to know your opinion of that digital pedal board

That sounded great, altough YT is not the best place to hear 'Compression' subtilities. Take care!
