Stop avoiding compressor pedals on your pedalboard! The key to better guitar tone and sustain!

What guitar effects pedal(s) do you want to see me demo here next? And feel free to check out the demo of a $40 overdrive pedal I did last week: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIGlo6WpfrCFopI

Another great way to use compressors is as a leveler, you can switch guitars with different output pickups and have them on the same level durig a gig

[@ryanisheartless]

That’s a great point! Or even for when playing with humbuckers and switching to a split coil tone when you tend to have a volume drop off

I run 2 compressors 1 at the beginning of my signal chain after my tuner and ... wait for it... at the end of my FX loop , I like it , unconventional, but sounds great.

[@ryanisheartless]

Interesting approach, I'll have to give that a try!

[@patrickkeenan6331]

I use a compressor to bring up the frequencies lost in the capacitance of the cables. Just enough to goose the presence. A Keeley Mini Compressor is on my main board; a companion unobtrusive...

[@ryanisheartless]

Definitely a good point as well, and I’ve heard good things about pretty much everything Keeley makes too!

[@DomLapointe]

We like compression A lot

[@ryanisheartless]

Hell yes we do!
