Guitar Pedalboard Essentials - Compressor.

[@mikedervos5974]

Finally someone demonstrate this pedal with humbuckers on high gain lead tone ...thank you! Sounds great,thats what i was looking for!

[@theishing1]

Lately I am so hooked up with Paul's guitar techniques. God bless you Paul, love from India.

[@TheStudioRats]

Ahh cheers Shaya. Love back at ya!

[@freezaxp]

His shredding skill getting better and better, as a guy who claims he isn't a metal player

[@GuitarsRgood7]

Thanks for the great explanation! This one of those pedals that I really didn't understand for years.

[@jim4588]

Bookmarking that lick at 4:03 for later. 🤘 Edit: Also a big thanks to the guitar players on the KZbin team who added the playback speed feature. 😂

[@newsongok]

I just bought this pedal. Your video was so…helpful. Best video out there. Keeley needs to pay you guys!!

[@christianneumann7608]

Great advice, thank you very much!

[@Billywagner22]

Love my keeley Compressor +

[@rc3754]

Always quality videos. 👍🏼

[@TheStudioRats]

Much appreciated!

[@Therianwantabff]

Paul's tone and choice of pedals (except for the AxeFXIII) has become a guide for me. At first it was subconscious when I used the plumes as my drive sound, but then I realized what was going on.

[@scottdunn2178]

Tom Scholz is the godfather of using a compressor on guitar... The first two Boston albums are a must listen if you're unfamiliar with what a compressor can do 🎸

[@morganfreeman89]

Great!!! Thanks.

[@davidwoods358]

The Keeley 4 knob, is the first thing my cord goes into. For me the blend knob is the secret sauce of this pedal. Mine has been set at 11 o'clock for years. No matter what amp or modeller I'm playing through I really like the string feel with the comp on.

[@jim4588]

This video definitely pushed it to the top of my list. ❤️

[@Steven-re3tx]

Tuner,...wah,...and sometimes fuzz,... then my Keeley comp plus. Into distortions,...para eq,... modulation,...delay and lastly reverb. Is my suggestion,...plus I cheat. I run a Hiwatt DR 504.

[@nigel900]

Very nice. 👍🏻

[@carpediem4413]

Sold my Keeley Compressor + & Cali76 for the Boss CP-1X and it’s awesome … so transparent and so good. The Keeley takes away top end and bottom end (hence the need for tone control)… the Boss CP-1X sounds exactly like your original guitar tone but with compression (it doesn’t squash your tone).

[@jamesmaddock259]

Very useful thanks

[@pez---]

I love my Maxon CP9pro+ ...it rocks

[@Tonetwisters]

I have one of these guys. It is stellar.

[@johns4751]

My lack of understanding of compression has made me avoid using these pedals.This video really helped and the Keeley Comp is a brilliant product. Thanks Paul!

[@TheStudioRats]

Anytime John Thanks for watching!

[@TommyDolan-n3s]

Enjoyed this - good, down to earth, infortmative video (and some awesome shredding too!). Have you any thoughts/ideas on placement of the compressor pedal i.e. before the amp or in the effects loops?

[@EmopunkDr]

Hi Paul! Thanks for your great effort in all the videos you produce. One question: is the Keeley still the one to get nowadays? Or would you suggest some new entries? Regards!

[@gokhanersan8561]

At 2:50 mark was that a Steve Morse arpeggio?

[@scottdunn2178]

With a compressor you feel it more than you hear it... I set mine first in the chain for a very subtle dynamic range compression and sustain 🎸

[@erikpaterson1404]

Great vid. I need a compression pedal

[@davespin9034]

I want a pedal that makes my notes fatter. I’ve got a couple overdrives Flanger Reverb Delay Boss EQ Noise gate EVH phase 90 Compressor next? I play medium high gain

[@kmichaelp4508]

I think most people use the pedal all wrong. Sitting down and fiddling around with any pedal and in coordination with your other pedals is a must.😬

[@Idontlikethisever]

I love that this prs has no birds 😂😂. Sounds great

[@omicronvariant7279]

Just a thought. Have you tried emulating the Keeley compressor using the compressor inside the Boss GT?

[@mrc2662]

I bought an origin effects cali76 stacked and tbh I really really struggle with it. I just find it…uncontrollable. The problem is me, not the pedal, I get that. This video makes me think I need to try again.

[@paulvigos1]

hello Paul i am also Paul but from Athens greece Quick questions i have both DYNA COMP MXR and the KEELEY COMP PLUS. I use fuzz / overdrive AND a compressor so a. what is the best order? compression before FUZZ OD ? in the MIDDLE? AFTER FUZZ OD? b i use also the NEW NS1X NOISE GATE SUPPRESION . COULD YOU RECOMMEND FUZZ OD AND COPRESSOR TO BE IN THE FX LOOP OF THE PEDAL? many thanks paul

[@TheStudioRats]

im afraid theres too many variables, just try till you hear what you prefer. i like comp first but some fuzz's dont like not being first.

[@DaveKaplowitz]

I mostly use compression for sustain, especially on clean and low gain amp settings. But even with some gain, a little compression goes a long way to get a silkier tone. I do have a related question, Paul. I have noticed that on my Katana 100 mkii, compression works best after the preamp stage. Before the preamp stage, the tone breaks up in the tail while after the preamp, I get nice clean tails and very smooth sustain. Not to mention a snappier tone and less noise. Back in my pedalboard days, I would always put the compressor first in the efx chain and the Katana seems to work differently here. Can you shed some light on this either here or in a separate video? I want to understand more about what I am hearing. Thanks!

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi Dave, personally i always use compression first, Have you got the noise gate on? Thats the only reason i can think why its breaking up.

[@saddestchord7622]

My number one guitar is a strat with a 12 inch radius, but low output pickups with a vintage stagger. A compressor really helps all the strings ring out. And that's a pretty common thing, actually, to have vintage pickups and a modern neck. Those pickups were designed for a 7.5" radius and it makes a difference a lot of times. I think a lot of players could benefit from using compression with those types of guitars. And yep they're good to use as a boost, too.

[@TheStudioRats]

Nice tip!

[@reggaebuster3624]

where would you place the compressor and boss ge7 in the chain

[@TheStudioRats]

Beginning

[@vinsanityguitar]

Where are you running it in the chain?

[@jnh73]

First. Guitar>Compressor>BluGuitar Amp 1.

[@jimmeymcgee2840]

SOLD!

[@joefriedmanguitarnut]

Can I still use my volume knob to clean up the guitar sound if I am using a compressor??

[@explorer8454]

Yes

[@-_AjB_-]

Hi Paul, I got this pedal recently and I'm noticing that it adds noise to my signal chain even when it's just this pedal plugged in. With the compression turned to the minimum there is no added noise but the more sustain I add the more noise floor I hear. Is this normal?

[@TheStudioRats]

compression will bring up the noise floor, but I’d have to hear yours to tell if it’s not right. Take it in to your local shop or tech, I’m sure they can help out.

[@cowboygypsey]

I've got a pretty good ear but I can never tell the difference with these compression videos.?

[@sasmitha8446]

Yes! This is the secret of your pick attack! So chewy.

[@heythere6983]

Hmm I wonder how useful it is in a studio. Usually everything goes through multiple stages of compression when recording and one can pinpoint different parts of the song for different compression . If the guitar is already a little squished it may end up being too compressed after production is done . Live I can see how this can add some particular benefits

[@iannicholls7476]

Good old Keeley compressor! Like an idiot I got rid of mine.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Only good at low vol..just get a softer pick and turn the tone down a bit.
