It's so hard to demo compressors on KZfaq, for years I thought they were completely pointless, but then I got one and now I never turn it off

@mattl4925 4 жыл бұрын

That’s exactly why I picked up the Compadre - I usually have one on: sometimes pretty squishy, sometimes mostly dry. Having even just a couple presets/midi makes it really useful

@onenotesolo256 4 жыл бұрын

That should be in the list of ‘Things all electric guitar players at some point on the journey.’ #5 “I don’t need a compressor. They don’t do anything except funk.” (Plugs in decent comp pedal to a tube amp or cab sim a week or so). “Oh wait.”

@mclarensmps 2 жыл бұрын

I got a BOSS CS-3 back when I didn't really know what a compressor did but was told I NEEDED one. I couldn't make heads or tails of it, so I got rid of it. Years later, I finally got an understanding of what a Compressor did, but wanted one where the blend felt more organic, like Lee's mentioning here. Ended up with a Keeley Compressor+ and it's almost always on. Such a wonderful pedal!

@onenotesolo256 4 жыл бұрын

Sounded great, Lee. Lovely playing and you did that SS justice. I wonder if the Compadre would be even better if it had a loop, so you could stick your drives between the comp and boost, with the option to switch the order of the comp and boost. If I was running the same thing conceptually with your board, I’d probably have a Cali76 or a Thorpy Fat General into the Greer etc, then a boost last (Dane boost obviously makes it redundant, as you say) after the drives. Or vice versa. Thank you for keeping us all super entertained. Keep safe.

@onenotesolo256 4 жыл бұрын

Good shout. I think the pedals ‘stay out of the way’ whilst still enabling a good recorded tone and therefore allow the player to get on with just playing (hence a lot of mentions of ‘feel’, rather than a big noticeable change in tone). Compressors are great for that aren’t they.

It sounds like a Strat that is almost entirely machined and finished via computer controlled machines and sells for craftsman prices. Like all overpriced PRS guitars. Don't get mer wrong, they are nice guitars, and they should be, because once the machine is programmed correctly, they'll all be exact duplicates. As such the price should be a third of what it is.

Again love the videos. This one has me intrigued as my first and only electric guitar so far is the SS as I learn to move my fingers. Being as I an so new to this I would so appreciate the diagram view from guitar to amp / recording tool. I have no idea of the bits and bobs in between and no history to go on. Right now I have the guitar->D&M drive->57 champ, but adding more or seeing wheat you actually use and the route of that connectivity will really help.

Even with my Katana 50 and Epi Les Paul, Squier Strat and Epi Dot 335 clone I've got just too many tones.Plus enough pedals and processors that it's ridiculous. I've spent more time sodding about with tones than playing. Now it's just the Dot straight into the Crunch channel with a spot of reverb and play! Option paralysis is a curse not blessing - mind you STILL want those Strymons....

Ok so here's my situation. I currently run a clean boost at the very end of my chain as a volume increase for solos. I also have a Vemuram Karen which is basically like a Marshall Plexi. Its creamy and beautiful and I love that pedal. I can't run my clean boost into the Vemuram though because it tries to drive an already super high gain pedal, and therefore deletes the volume increase that I use the clean boost for. I want a compressor, and the fact that it's also a clean (or dirty) boost appeals to me, but everything ive read says that compressors go first, and not to run a distortion pedal into one due to noise. I want this pedal but im hesitant because 1. I'd have to run my Vemuram distortion after teh Compadre clean boost thereby deleting the post distortion volume gain Ive been getting from having my clean boost at the end 2. I don't want to put the Vemuram before the compressor. So what i've thought is maybe I could turn the volume up on the compressor side of the Compadre and use it as a clean boost that would also add drive to the dirty boost side of the Compadre, and then get rid of the Vemuram for my live gigs. Your thoughts?
