[@JayLeonardJ]

Yeah!! Thanks :)

[@simonmodig]

You're the master of frantic but soulful playing. Love your super energetic style. Awesome sounds! And the hair looks good!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Really appreciate it!!! Thanks :)

[@julienklettenberg5816]

It’s GREAT to see a pedal demo that actually explains what’s happening to the guitar sound. Thank you! That Pacifica is a very nice guitar 😎

[@JayLeonardJ]

Really appreciate it :)

[@jerryhorton5708]

As usual, Jay knocks it out of the park with a demo combined with an insightful tutorial. Thanks again, Jay!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!

[@pchong312]

I was sad and shocked to see the do go but inspired at the same time Jay! It grew on me throughout the duration of this video.

[@ilovesoftwhispers]

Good review. Diggin the buzz cut also! 👍

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!!

[@Texasbluesalley]

I was not prepared for the hair. Great demo!

[@Seiriism]

Easter edition!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Hahaha

[@saxpistols7246]

Every compressed sound used is louder than the non compressed sound it's compared to So it's always going to sound better, because louder always sounds better. Never the less, it DOES sound great, and your playing and enthusiasm is absolutely infectious

[@artysanmobile]

That is what compression does. With the same or even lower peak amplitudes, the average level goes up. That is precisely why they are used!

[@CoffeeConversationMusicGear]

A compressor that knocked the hair off the top of your head 😂 Great one JLJ! I love your style, the hair cut and your videos man! I like the demo and video break of the compressor functions and how it affects the tone of the guitar. Thank you for always being you and rockin’ & rollin’ 🤘🏾🎸

[@DTension]

Whoa new look. Bad ass.

[@masterchef3019]

Tasty tones, tasty buzz!🔥🔥

[@masterchef3019]

As far as my favorite compressor, the Cali76 from Universal Audio is my go to. Great for adding bite and snap to funky rhythm parts, cleaning up emo fretboard tapping, and adding sustain to Jazz chord melody!

[@Ram-zw7qz]

How is this compared to the Cali76

[@masterofreality230]

Great demo, the only thing I have not seen in this o other demos is the most extreme setting, like how much squish it can have. FET seems to be my favorite to answer the question at the end.

[@RishPanjeetJr]

Looking good, king!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Haha, thanks :)

[@thomasd9237]

Sounds pretty good, can I have it when you're done with it ☺️ ?? Did you get a Nashville Tele yet ? LoL 🤣

[@JayLeonardJ]

I surprisingly do have one on the way ;)

[@giantessmaria]

nice! looks like you had too much fun with that pedal!

[@JayLeonardJ]

I did :)

[@therewasascene]

Haven’t watched the whole video yet so sorry if you say it at some point, but what is that guitar you were playing at the beginning oh my goodness it is my soul personified

[@JayLeonardJ]

It is a Macmull Heartbreaker. Amazing axe :)

[@sethlover6498]

that tele is fire !!!!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Definitely :)

[@PaulMatthewMusic1]

This easily replaced my Keely. Best pedal compressor I have used

[@heythere6983]

I like the idea of compressors but everyone Iv used always shaved off the top end harmonics and refocuses the midrange which is something I never hear anyone say. I haven’t tried one with a blend yet but idk how that will sound unless I buy one to return it. But losing top end hair is always a no no . Even with my gate on my amp it does a similar thing and dries up the tone. Idk how people can enjoy that effect . I guess clean it doesn’t feel so bad but for distortion and trying to add sustain and clarity it just feels like a tone suck so I can’t make amends with compressor pedals

[@EdgeofBreakup]

Hell ya dude!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Great to see you bro!

[@JayWalsh]

Huh... something seems missing from your video this morning.

[@waitin4winter]

You know a piece of gear is amazing when it blows your hair off

[@Blaiification]

Neither talent nor chops

[@jsanch4892]

Dude…music is amazing as usual, but the buzz cut…why? I also love that burst on the blue guitar, very subtle but beautiful.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Hopefully the lack of hair will draw more attention to the beautiful guitars, haha :)

[@peterpeper4837]

Attack and release are time based components and best matched to the rhythm of the music

[@bartboop]

The attack and release knobs turn the wrong way. It will be another misunderstood pedal.

[@Marcellagger]

fresh hair cut

[@JayLeonardJ]

Yeah!

[@artysanmobile]

No, they don’t. They match the operation of the UREI 1176 iconic limiter it is based on.

[@GearSmackMusic]

As the story of Samson - Gone is the hair and all the skill with it!!!

[@GearSmackMusic]

It was a joke dude, chill. You people are hurt so easily and its not about you 😅😂

[@MrBromansa]

​@@GearSmackMusic To be fair, you did say "Gone is the hair and all the skill with it." I'm sure you understand the implication of that, plus tone is difficult to show via text. If you'd used emoji or ended with /s that would have conveyed your joke better.

[@peterpeper4837]

@@MrBromansaA snowflake with beard = a hipster implication????? emoji ???? Boahahaahaha Grow up and grow some @@

[@GearSmackMusic]

Nah ​@@MrBromansa I shouldn't need an emoji for anyone to comprehend the joke. He shouldn't delete his comment because he was wrong either

[@GearSmackMusic]

Besides, Jay is one of my favorite cats

[@markhamblin8194]

A compressor so clean it shaved all the hair off of your....um... tone

[@JayLeonardJ]

Hahaha
