correction: JHS is from Missouri, not Kansas!

[@bassnsax]

To be fair, they're located in Kansas City, Missouri (MO), which is on the border. It's basically the Liechtenstein of Kansas, if Kansas was a Deutschland!

[@Father9]

Don't feel bad. So many bands have yelled HELLO KANSAS!!! from the stage. We all just yell back MISSOURI!!! lol

[@topfloorstudio2684]

Just cover both bases and say Kansas City.

[@zordosway3846]

That groove at the start was killer

[@andreasdeutinger7319]

the thing with compressors is: if i hear it working, i don‘t like the sound. if i don‘t hear it, i think, i don‘t need it.

[@martinheath5947]

Just get one ;) 👍

[@Stewkeithmtb]

Nailed it! The great compressor dilemma.

[@geraldbayley5781]

Third option squish the fuck out of your signal and wriggle in pure bliss.

[@maxine2798]

There will be a middle ground where it makes things “better”. I use one to effect the sound of my bass, EHX White Finger. It’s an effects pedal after all. Otherwise it’s a studio effect

[@gorillafunk725]

Knowing a few friends that own studios. Their approach is as varied as their personalities. But the one that sounds best to my ears is Jon of twin earth studios. If you use a boost ,overdrive distortion or fuzz esp a stacked combo The circuit/s naturally compress the signal anyway. So he avoids it or applies it minimally post production. He also plays bass. "The best compressor is no compressor" Jon. Twin earth studios. Being the Devils advocate is the best self employment EVER! 👹

[@asifineededaname]

I really looooooove René's playing !

[@KaltOhm]

Mr Flächsenbeard!! Killer bass lines! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Bflatest]

The DIRT switch as perfect. love the way that sounds. It will be glue in the mix

[@panosskentzos]

The ooonly thing missing would be the option of powering it via Phantom Power, like the MXR M80, which I've found tremendously practical both in studio and live situations!

[@Loki_FPV666]

Thanks for highlighting this cool pedal. I would have never given it a second glance without seeing this.

[@meyersguitars2196]

That’s seems like a good always on pedal. I like it and you had my favorite player of yours on this one, Thank you!

[@dumaflotchy13]

Awesome .... I appreciate a demo provides an original rhythm trk for one to reference. Thanks . ❤

[@juanjan__]

Great video! If JHS would ever do a live show about bass, I really hope they invite you. That would be just amazing!

[@Barry101er]

That would be a great "YT Universe Crossover".

[@juanjan__]

@@Barry101er JHS has already done it with Brian Wampler (another great channel, btw), so why not with Gregor? Would be great indeed 🙂

They already did one with Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas of Mutemath fame, and it is really awesome.

@@KaltOhm yeah, great episode!

[@merlinoner]

Bass playing in the intro is top notch !

Thats intro tone was SOOO GOOD.

[@peekaboo4390]

Great pedal but I would like the dirt adjustment on top with a small knob.

[@howardgilbert5008]

I believe you could give Rene a bowl of pasta to play and he would make it sound amazing.

[@ErixSamson]

Josh is really great, and his pedals too

[@michaeltennen5775]

00:24 that opening was fuckn sick

[@zulu5157]

So cool. Josh the pedal-pope created again something awesome. A tuner pedal and this compressor with DI and Overdrive can be enough for almost every situation. Great.

[@michaelsilverman341]

Great channel, great content. I agree that first groove with the worn out P Bass...damn that sounded fat as ****. Nicely done

[@topfloorstudio2684]

Nice, really love Josh & JHS but I'm buying the Boss BC-1X bass comp after much back & forth. Thanks for everything you guys do!!!

[@tuberocker69]

I prefer the Mxr m87

[@JonnySledge]

My MXR M87 died after about a year. I then read that this has happened to a lot of them. Can't recommend.

[@tuberocker69]

@@JonnySledge I've heard of that happening from more than a few people, too. That being said, mine has held up so far (lucky batch, maybe?)

[@hazysativa3045]

Its the perfect compressor pedal/DI for my bass rig.

[@basstadaeus]

I can see this compressor at the end of a Line6 HX stomp if you go direct FOH (mono) since it has a DI out XLR - which the HX stomp doesn't have.

[@MadMagicPaul]

HX stomp does have balanced TRS output. Electrically identical to having an XLR out.

[@infezioneintestinale]

Rene Flächsenhaar

[@300ampeg]

The Orange Sqeezer is not a perfect compressor but it is a good multi-tool for pedal boards that are short on space (I keep it on a 3 pedal "grab and go" board for that very reason). It might be a bit boring but it performs REALLY well for what it was designed to do with the addition of the "dirt" switch to add a little spice.

[@jonathansmith2710]

I suppose all compressor pedals are inherently "boring," but holy cow, this one has built-in RAT distortion, a Direct-Out, which could save your ass if your amp goes down at a gig, and a clean blend that many compressors lack. Can you name a compressor pedal that is less "boring?"

[@thebrinesolution]

I mean that bass tone on the first track was killer

[@martinheath5947]

I got as far as "Pick Bass Sound" loving this compressor but you absolutely HAVE to do A/B (on/off, level matched) comparisons to demonstrate to the uninitiated why a compressor can be so great and why.

[@Barry101er]

I find the thing with bass compressors is after I watch a new demo, I think I have bought the wrong compressor. 😅

[@restojon1]

I think you've nailed it tbh. I bought a Caline Pressure Point and apart from the poppy switch (which I've now sorted) I'm really happy with it ... until I hear another one, then the doubt creeps in until I plug the Caline back in again and I'm back in my safe place again, or at least my bank balance is 😆

[@Barry101er]

@@restojon1 I have had at least 4 over the last three years, all instigated by watching YT demos! So, after watching this demo; I immediately went and looked at the demo of the current Compressor I have (Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor: Demo by "Andy", that Andy) and I eliminated the urge to but this comp. I think I need to get out more often tbh :)

[@ralphhenderson7270]

...that explains why I own seven bass compressor pedals

[@LCA1985]

@@ralphhenderson7270 lol forget about the compressors then, focus on your technique and the instrument

[@davejohns6694]

I really can't discern what they do most of the time. I leave the one on my Dapper Bass board on all the time with the gain up for a slightly overdriven sound. The other unit is gathering dust.

[@JohnBJr]

Up to this point, I thought I had an ideal comp in the Seymour Duncan Studio Bass. The side chain option is nice for ducking the kick drum but I can work around that if one pedal can do comp while adding grit as well as, tone/boost by itself.

[@Barry101er]

I have the Seymour Duncan Studio Bass too; ability to add grit is tempting..... but, I have a ED Westwood for that-I must, must, stay with the Duncan-Andy says🤓

[@pirhala]

What are your thoughts on this compressor pedal a year later? Have you found another one to work better than the pulp n peel?

[@ErixSamson]

I personally prefer when comp has threshold, ratio, attack, release, EQ and Knee, if possible. Because this is how you can really setup a comp.

[@steliosamk2]

Whats that groove called in the beginning? Killer tone!

[@mark6302]

Rene got the chops and he looks like a sea captain

[@markbass354]

[@jarrodsmith256]

That first riff if FUNNNNKAY!

[@johnwhitmore2531]

Wondering could you use this as DI for Bass over the Ampeg pre amps? Same same but different or totally different and pump'n'peel not the weapon for that job? Opinions welcome

[@palesama]

Just let me clarify something. The DI sends the compressed clean signal and the instrument output sends the compressed signal to other pedals so I can have the 2 signals in parallel, one clean compressed with the DI and the other compressed with other effect pedals. Correct?

[@basstheworldofficial]

yes, absolutely

[@hetul784]

Man your videos are awesome but I’d love it if you shared your signal chain too

[@basstheworldofficial]

it's always the same. the bass pedal goes straight into my BAE 1073 DMP and parallel into a REDDI Tube DI

[@aidantalbot9495]

[@dragonskinavi]

Thanks for the great info..love your channel! I have a question that I just can't seem to find a solution for, maybe you can help me - I have 2 basses, one is PASSIVE and down tuned to C tuning (for my stoner metal band) and the other is ACTIVE/PASSIVE and in standard tuning (for rock, funk, etc). How do I decide to buy this or any other compressor pedal that would work great on both of those basses? Would this pedal be suitable in both cases? Please help, thanks in advance! P.S. I also like the Keeley Bassist compressor pedal - what's your take on both, and which would be ideal for me?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Most new compressors will be able to handle both basses. Pick the one that sounds best for you. This one here will definitely do this. I’ve never tried the Keeley.

[@dragonskinavi]

@@basstheworldofficial Cool...thanks a lot!

[@gorillafunk725]

Most Bass players I know including me loathe these things. But somtimes they are a neccessary evil. I will play the devils advocate & say go for total control & go rackmount. Or find a pedal that gives you the control of a rackmount in a pedal format & learn how to use it. Better yet find a real store that stocks both & see which gives you the best sound. The JHS may sound awesome to you & certain ones do to me as well as I own the JHS/Boss Angry Driver. But I have never come across a pre set compressor that I really liked. But the grit is a nice touch.The fact that you can use it as a pre or boost may be the coup de gra for most budget constrained purchases as it extremely versatile. Also DI out is handy if you are using it on its own or a minimal signal chain. So credit where its due. Despite my personal bias. I'm tempted to try one. if I can hear it in my rig before purchase. No matter how great it sounds here. & cudos to bass the world it does as much as a limiter can. It has zero significance until you hear how it interacts with your gear in your rig.

[@jonathansmith2710]

I'll play devil's advocate to your comment and predict more bassists would be successful at dialing in good compressed tone out of the Pulp N Peel than they would from a rack mount compressor with more controls for parameters that most do not understand. It would be fun to see a video of someone do a side-by-side comparison of the PNP with their more complex full function compressor to see how much tweaking they would need to do to meet or beat the compressed tones of the PNP. I suspect any possible improvements would be subtle at best and all but lost in a band mix.

[@pbasswil]

That P-bass at the beginning sounded _awesome!_ Were those flatwounds??

[@basstheworldofficial]

Indeed, La Bellas

[@pbasswil]

@@basstheworldofficial Thanks for confirmation. That was a record-ready bass sound, imho.

[@TheCabbageMan]

I have a p-bass with some older flatwounds and I'm wondering how you guys get such a great thumpy tone? I've been trying to get this exact tone forever!

[@madhatter7862]

Please what kind of strings were on P bass. Thank you !

[@basstheworldofficial]

La Bella 760FL flats

[@JM.COSMIC]

Sounds cool but I think it cut some of low end

[@gorillafunk725]

That is why they call it a mix. Drum & bass have to complement rather than fight each other. & with limited real estate available in the low end. Sacrifices must be made. To make the overall music more cohesive. Bit rate also limits that real estate esp mp 3 or 4. The higher the bitrate the more real estate you have. Thats why Boss use 32 bit floating DA's on their higher end looper/ drum machines. So that using that stuff live its harder to discern you are playing to a canned loop and or drum beat. No cheesy casio sounding crap. On any canned music it is much more critical as the low end real estate is limited by the playback medium and a great mix done well should sound good on any of them. Not as easy as it sounds. Pun intended.

[@texacomann]

Controlling the drive with your scewdriver only? Are they serious about this? A reason not to buy it! Its really a nogo. If there is a nice drive function, it must be aviable without scewdriver. Because I usually dont have one with me and none in my pocket. Sorry for this, but that is really silly. On the other hand, this pedal sounds good, but there are so many competitors out there on the market, I can probably find a better one.

[@basstheworldofficial]

@@jesuguru2394 maybe in the next Version of this pedal ☺️

[@jonathansmith2710]

Wait, so that means you will never buy any compressor pedal unless it includes a built-in distortion with a gain control knob? No such compressor pedal exists. If on-the-fly dirt tweaking is that important to you, just use a dedicated dirt pedal. This is primarily a compressor pedal that includes a bonus RAT distortion circuit. And by the way, you actually can control the amount of dirt by using the Blend control and also control its tone by using the Tone knob. If the set & forget gain control is a big "nogo" for you, then are completely missing the point of this pedal.

[@rod_andrade]

No, it isn´t.
