Honest Review: J. ROCKETT AUDIO DESIGNS AIRCHILD 660 Compressor Pedal (It's awesome!)

[@jameslifetimelearner]

Thanks for the comprehensive demo! I’m comparing units and can see the potential in this one quite clearly.

Just got mine- it's really nice! I'm finding I like it with basically the same settings you ended up with around 8:00 . They look to be one sale atm, under $200 USD 👍

That's a steal!

Great review! Thanks my airchild arrives tomorrow

Very good review. The input output placement is a real plus for me personally. I place the comp 3rd in my chain (Turner and Envelope Filter are 1&2. The Airchild sits at the top of the board (second row of pedals) so top placement for the jacks are perfect in my case.

[@masterofreality230]

All pedals should be top power and 1/4' jacks, it save quite a bit of space if they are all that way.

[@nuthinbutlove]

I definitely agree. I wish they were all designed that way.

@MadebyMiike thanks for your honesty, it's refreshing. This was a great review. I've been in search of a great, quiet compressor for some time and this seems perfect for what I need. I love the fact that it's quiet. That's a rare find with compressors. I would appreciate the ability to save presents as well

Mike - nice review. I was wanting to hear the Airchild with a distortion pedal. Like a Rat perhaps. Compression pedals are notoriously noisy when used with a distortion pedals. I was curious if the Airchild was a better performer with a distortion pedal. Less hum and unwanted noise. Cheers

[@MadebyMiike]

Sorry for the late reply. So I just tested it with two pedals, the Suhr Riot Reloaded and the EHX orange fuzz. Yes, in both cases the fairchild adds noise (similar to a tube screamer in front of a distortion unit). So if you were to use it like this, a noise gate would be necessary I'm afraid. But also... I kinda feel the sound didn't gain much?! Maybe a tiiiny bit of better attack? But I guess because both of these pedals are on the high gain side and already compress by themselves. So personally, I would not use this comp in front of a distortion pedal, but ymmv! Thanks for watching! ☺👍

Thank you for the review. I wonder if it can handle bass guitar? or maybe other sources altogether?

[@MadebyMiike]

Sorry haven't tried it with Bass.

[@freespeech-advocate]

good review bro thanks,🤟😎🎸

[@Luckyboy-s9d]

Can it be used with other instruments?

[@rodolpheponthus2948]

Of course. Might need a DI before it for synths, voice, mics.. to get guitar line impedance .
