AN UNUSUALLY GREAT GUITAR COMPRESSOR. Drybell MODULE 4

[@tomduckworth8335]

Also just a very nice tutorial on how to set up a compressor

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@michaelwashere]

I'm going to "compress" my thoughts in to two words. Noice playing.

[@johnnylayton1672]

Awesome demo. Love its Jamiroquai & Nile Rodgers vibe. Reveals well the potential for clean guitar to offer a level of rhythm & harmony sophistication that can't be so easily matched by more popular distorted & even modulated guitar sound options.

[@arnaudnoar3345]

Few days ago, I wrote to you, you were a great artist and composer, and that I did find in your albums what J.Beck , especially in Guitar Shop, brings to me emotionally..Jeff is now with their notes, in the air , please, stay with us and.... speak to me through your LP's! From my little french village, 🥂☮️

[@PeteThorn]

thank u, I really love France!

[@karl1949]

It's always a pleasure watching a pro at work. Cool I didn't know that about the Knopfler/Dire Straits sound, a little OJ to get your grove on. Pete you're a sultan man, thanks and keep on rocking man!

[@julianmetcalfe1070]

great review again from Dr Thorn it really does enhance the sound where as some others really dont very nice

[@RickGuitarPRS]

It's a great pedal. I love mine. I also have the Engine which is also awesome.

[@kmjansen]

I don't know why I hadn't gotten around to it yet, but I listened to your albums today and loved them. I'm a particular fan of the 2nd one -- Life on Venus is amazing. Thanks for the content, and keep on shredding!

[@PeteThorn]

thank u!

[@joeys24]

Hello Pete! Love that sound and Love how you embrace the tone and the feel of that wonderful compressor. As always, you are a master of your craft and my ears are ones who benefit from your Melodic, exceptional expression! Thank you !

[@PeteThorn]

thanks so much!

[@srdjanbosnjak7413]

Always great vibes coming from you-I hear that chords all around me.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

A genius blend of the old and the new. You get an organic quality but free of the warts and blemishes. I love the extra long sustain. I play my Strat things with a nearly completely clean sound. I hate when there are random 'rests' or to the point dead air between my notes.This pedal solves all that. At $315.00 USD it is not budget pedal but several of the quality comps are much more.

[@benharris5210]

Another ace video from mr Thorn. I am looking at upgrading a cheap line 6 constrictor compressor ive had for years, this is a bigger footprint than i'd usually want in a compressor but the tonal options available has made me interested.

[@richardb7686]

Fantastic demo and playing as usual.

[@Ryan-Hall]

Love this Feeling from this Pedal cleaning up and compressing in the Right Spots too, may have to check emergency Funds and see if anything Left?? Love you Brother Keep On Rocking, Love the Bass but Am Blowed Away With the Strat Tones and Squeezing the Tones There! Have Fun and Love to see U Guys do a Chat with whole Classic Rock Show Bunch,? Hope U'll be Able 2 Do again this Year? Love U Brother ❤️🌎🌍✌️2 All 🤠🙏

[@Thirsty_Deer_Studio]

Love the Drybell stuff. Just got the Vibe Machine v2 and ext footswitch last week. And I have a new song coming out with it on 3 guitar tracks. It's been hard not putting it on everything. This comp has cool features

[@PorchBass]

This is excellent for bass too!

[@andyracksthecams]

You are here, you are there 🤣I like the bass in this, The pedal you are demoing is cool too. Just bought a 6 pot compressor and it is the best compressor I have had on the board, this would have been a contender with different timing. I used a DBX 166XL rack compressor for a bit, all that extra control helps. Attack and release nice to have on a guitar pedal. Great guitar and production, a bouncy upbeat tune. I have in the pipeline a 2nd hand PT15IR from ebay. I am quite excited, That coupled with a pair of Thornbuckers on their way from the US good times ahead. Looking forward to the Lowry next week.

[@kurtdsap9744]

Always delighted by your short music pieces! This in particular shows how good a guitar player you are. Distortionless shredder ;-). Congrats !

[@PeteThorn]

thank u!

[@tmitz73]

Sounds awesome Pete and Dry Bell!!! Keep on rockin' Bruddah!!

[@tinkercitymusic]

Great demo! Love the Module 4 as well. I had a chance to do a Gearheads Feature and really loved it.

[@kenphillips3282]

Hmmm… more GAS.. this may replace my Carl Martin Honey-Comp compressor with the more options available. I’m using always on compression these days as a subtle opening of the sound and gentle feed of the signal. I do find I have to be careful of my string attack because the Honey-Comp can react to a hard signal and the compression noticeably bites. Control of the attack will be very useful. Thanks again Pete for adding to my gear 🤣

[@pauldaskal9510]

Wish I was familiar with the Tone of your 63 Strat, im more familiar with the lake placid blue suhr strat with the Ron Ellis Pickups. But the 63 is very Sultans of Swing sounding in the opening clip!

[@richardnagamitsu1582]

Wow, that is unusually great!

[@geoffreymerrifield5666]

Great video Sir Pete. Do you think the Module 4 can cover MXR Dynacomp ground?

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

Will you review ToneX? It’s a great tool for studio and the pedal is apparently coming ❤❤❤

[@LightWingStudios]

Good Stuff Pete! Expensive but worth every penny with all the features it offers.

[@mikiegood]

Great demo as usual. Looks like an awesome compressor

[@DJ-pm4hn]

Awesome demo sir!!!

[@johndeschain2156]

Road prep chops coming though. Awesome as usual.

[@JRP3music]

I think it would be cool to have smart compressor that detects when you select the clean channel. This compressor sounds nice and clear.

[@JohnShalamskas]

A Midi programmable one would fit the bill.

[@marcdemesmaecker7270]

Amazing pedal. Got it since a few weeks. Much much better than the cali76

[@ehlasbasma7284]

Hello Mister Thorn. Thank you for your hard work ! I have a request, if I may. Can you make a demo on the Triple Wreck or on the Abasi Pathos (they are basicly the same circuit) ? Please ? I know they are old circuits already, but I think they are good challengers of the Revv G4. What do you think ?

[@arthurgonzales4949]

I’ve never known how to really use a compressor. So I have pretty much avoided them but now I think that this all just changed.

[@geronimocorrea]

Very nice! Killer strat tone 🤤

[@nilesanders5110]

Awesome riff masterery

[@ДмитрийКужеев]

Hi Is this pedal good for experimenting with monosynth? Can it work with linear resistance?

[@MickeyMousehouse]

I wonder how this stacks up against the Cali76. I’m tossing up between the two.

[@PorchBass]

I had a cali76 bass and was never truly satisfied with it. The module 4 has the creamy tonal thing where you lose a bit of treble when the compression bites hard. That Tony Levin/gilmour squish floods through this. The cali76 was missing the papery mid distortion and bounce for me.

[@therover5943]

That was some Badd Ass Shit, Thanx.

[@middle_pickup]

That strat tone at the top sounds so good! BTW, what's up with the 5150? Demo? I was just looking at those 50 Watters the other day. They seem like a good deal.

[@PeteThorn]

Just using it for something special coming up soon

[@middle_pickup]

@@PeteThorn Nice. Does the clean channel work well with pedals? Is there a bright cap?

[@victorbeebe8372]

Aloha and Mahalo Pete!

[@oliverjackson3761]

i just cant get behind compressor hype. Does this really do stuff my keeley compressor plus cant?

[@JerryLeeHowell2]

You have a Keeley Compressor Plus. You are already behind the hype.

[@oliverjackson3761]

@@JerryLeeHowell2 lol i mean i like compressors but i dont understand the appeal of all these boutique compressors on the market that all claim to do crazy stuff. i dont know, it sounds like a compressor.

[@PeteThorn]

Well, I know what you mean sort of, but this one, with its unique EQ, when the orange squeezer circuit is activated, and it’s very smooth release characteristics, it’s just a really exceptional compressor. They all don’t sound the same. And especially if you’ve got one with adjustable attack and release plus mix, you can get many different tones. That don’t sound like dynacomp or something.

[@oliverjackson3761]

@@PeteThorn yeah i guess it's just beyond my pay grade for what I need a compressor on my board to do for my purposes. Thanks for the video and the reply!

[@marleenvos4126]

Great demo and awesome playing 😎. I don’t understand why their pedals are so much more expensive in Europe than in the USA. They’re a European company…

[@Chef_Jeff69]

Pete! Dammit! Don’t make me buy another pedal!

[@reverendg5937]

If Pete wouldn't do these demos/reviews then I'd be rich like B___ch. Sadly he continues & I keep feeding the Geetar Gorilla. What else am I supposed to do?!?🤷

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

I personally don't see the benefit of a compressor. I've never used one and Phil Campbell, of Motorhead, once asked me how I got my sound. But then again, I only come her to hear Pete play.

[@PeteThorn]

If you play clean, it makes your clean feel so much more like you’re playing overdriven, but you’re not. If you want to clean sound, but you wanna be heard in the mix and you want some sustain, do you want to push the guitar forward, and not get lost, compression is where it’s at

[@JohnShalamskas]

Compression can also make your guitar sound a bit brighter, and jump forward in the mix.
