Dude, I am intrigued on why your channel only has 11,000 subscribers. This is insane! the level of production here, you should have at least 1 million!1!❤

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks so much! 1 million is right around the corner! Haha

[@DennyNarciso]

It should be, and it Will ​@@SuperdangerStudios

[@amdsixtyfour]

dear algo please give this man more views he's so beyond deserving

[@SuperdangerStudios]

I second that! Haha thanks for watching!

[@thomascleveland]

For real, what does he have to do?

[@edwardjons8684]

Yay! So good even my other half was watching it over my shoulder this time, rightly entertained by the retro buddy movie/feelgood vibes. Beautifully produced and brilliantly written again - seriously the writing just keeps on getting better, and the you are hitting the audio-visuals out of the park every time. Not only a great demo of a great pedal, but uplifting entertainment too. Love it and the playing this time was on another level, especially that Eagles-style track near the end cleverly designed to avoid a copyright strike!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Uplifting! That’s exactly what I’m going for. I really am trying to make stuff that makes people laugh and stoked to play their gear. Was nervous about a potential copyright problem w the eagles but I think I’m clear! Haha. Cheers and thanks again for watching!

[@larryshields2302]

Your videos are so so so. Amazing. Don't ever stop please. I'm baffled why you don't have more views/subscribers smh.

[@simonhall2682]

The subs are growing- spread the word!!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks so much my man! I can’t stop now I just got started!

[@eddieholmes3236]

Best compressor review I've seen and some real wisdom. Thanks Alex!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Glad it was helpful! Compression is such a weird subject bc it’s in everything we hear but you can’t tell haha. Cheers my man!

[@jeroenmaris]

This stuff is gold! Hooked and hitting that subscribe button like there's no tomorrow! Keep the awesomeness coming!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

So rad! Thank you for the sub! Much more to come!

[@YannickRiveti]

Huge fan of the work! Would love your take one day on some of the popular “all-in-one” modelers like the Helix, Neural, etc. Also on a plugin or two like the Mixwave Benson or Milkman sets. You’ve got such an entertaining and informative perspective, and there are a ton of “digital-native” players like myself that would benefit and enjoy your thoughts here. Keep up the great work!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

I will see if I can get one in the studio! I'd love to try a Neural or Helix. I have positive grid and amplitube but I should really try the new breed of plugins. I'll start asking those brands if they want to get down.

[@josdurkstraful]

[@misterknightowlandco]

This is the best “demo” channel I’ve ever encountered. Idc what the product is or if I’m even interested in it, your videos just make me smile. Thanks for bringing the fun back to the KZbin guitar community. It sure beats all the “tone” snobbery, gatekeeping and arguing we get. God bless and have a great weekend!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

So rad that you're enjoying the videos. Gotta keep it upbeat and fun! I think of KZbin as entertainment first, and then education second. If I am not entertaining you guys then I am failing!

[@jamesbruce2563]

I just discovered this channel and I am blown away! This is amazing content.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Welcome aboard! More to come!

[@jt3483]

Dude, seriously, where the hell did you come from? You're production value is so damn high!! And also one of the best presenters on KZbin, period. Great video too! Question though... why do 76 style compressors do that volume step up if you really sustain the chords for a longer time? I heard that same thing on TPS with a different Cali76 offering. It's weird...

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Wow thanks so much for the kind words. As for the 76 sound that’s when the comp lets go after engaging. It can be mediated by using the attack and release knobs so that it doesn’t happen though and adding more dry so that the comp signal is reduced. On its own it sounds kinda crazy but in a mix whether live or recording it can be really helpful to “sit” in the mix better.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Also where you talking about when right before I speak the volume jump? Bc that’s just the overhead mic being added in for my dialogue.

[@jt3483]

@@SuperdangerStudios ahh yeah, I think it is the vocal mic. I'm hearing that same type of volume increase in some of your other videos. I thought it was something inherent in the 76 because TPS had something similar happen in one of their videos, but in their case, it was something with the pedal itself.

[@jasonlee8497]

You are insane you know that right? But in the best way!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

OH IM NUTS!

[@Paul-D]

another great video, I just parted ways with my Keeley to see how I live without some compression on the board...... its not going that well and this is VERY well timed lol

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Hahaha did you end up getting one?

[@ToddRichmond]

Mr. Superdanger, we tested the pilot episode of Mad About Fuzz in Encino. The network will pick up the show, but we want to rename it to Mad About Goldie (since he's a fuzz anyway). The original title didn't play with the 23-29 year old demographic and confused the senior viewers as they thought you were talking about peaches. Have your machine call our machine to work out the details.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Todd, great to hear. I was worried that since we hadn't heard since the summit last week that your team was going to let the rights expire. To be honest, I dreaded bringing this concept to TNT or TBS as I feel that your team understood the magic of this concept; it;s not just another 3 camera show. As for your notes I will talk to our mgmt and we can sort out the legalities of renaming at least insofar as it applies to merchandising which, as I am sure you're aware, comprises a significant portion of overseas revenue. Again, I think all of this can be worked out over the next week. Let's make a show!

[@ToddRichmond]

@@SuperdangerStudios Mr. S. Danger, thanks for your reply. We have a few more notes. Actually your original title can work (thus simplifying international merch right) with a minor tweak here and there. Instead of a sitcom, think procedural cop show (fuzz - get it?) with a goth-romantic twist. This will bring in the Twilight fans as well as the super-important tween neo-vampire audience. We’re thinking you’d move to exec producer and we’d have Kristen Stewart star as Ms. S. danger, and Jeff Bridges would be her grizzled veteran partner (think goth-Lebowski). Of course you’d retain all creative control except writing, directing, editing, merch, and, ummm…ok, we’d retain control of everything but you’d still get an exec producer credit. At least on the first episode. So do we have a deal? Great!

[@azmok1]

Superdanger Studios churn out great quality vids man! I’ve purchased York Audio IRs and Origin Effect pedals (and enjoying them!!) because I discovered your reviews.. so thank you 🙏 and keep doing what you do man!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Glad you like them! Great pedals and great IRs go well together! Cheers

[@ParanormalResponse]

Some pretty tasty licks regardless of the compressor. Thanks for the detailed review, it's expensive so I appreciate the time spent to show it off.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks so much. This was a fun pedal to demo. Lots of fun sounds to make w compression. Cheers!

[@diegoruizguitar]

This is probably the best pedal review video i've ever seen, thank you a lot!!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Wow, thanks! Really appreciate it.

[@ElrickySounds]

Discovered this Channel back in December when searching for iridium tutorials after I had already given up on it for almost a year, and about to sell it. Not only did I keep the iridium but I also got a RevivalDrive. Best two pedals I have ever bought. Best guitar channel by far! Alex, can’t wait for your channel to explode!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thank you so much and glad to hear the iridium and revival drive worked for you. They are fantastic pieces of gear and cover so much ground. Thank you for your support! More to come!

[@rodolpheponthus2948]

Just watched your DCX Boost video, which I really liked . And was searching info on the new Cali76 Fet compressor. Bingo 😂 Seems you're on the same journey for tone as mine 😊. I think I'm going to put Cali Fet Comp and DCX Boost as my 2 first pedals, some kind of MIAB as number 3, Keeley Dark Side #4, and Providence Delay # 5. And eat pasta for the next 3 months 😂

[@SuperdangerStudios]

These 2 as 1 and 2 on the board are an unbelievable shaping combo. Can really tame and add so much in almost every situation.

[@demodeiowa]

Love the covers you do on these videos man and the cinematography is the best I’ve seen for guitar content. Awesome

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Dude thank you! I was wracking my brain trying to find the name of this song. One hit wonders!

[@yingnanwang9304]

It's the precious Sunday after a hard working week, should I practice guitar or watch my new fav youtube channel? This is an easy one. I am on the couch enjoy the show.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

This is one of the best comments I have ever received. I hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers!

[@StratsRUs]

Absolutely incredible. Alex your channel is the only videos of this length I’ll watch. Absolutely loved this one! You’re so likeable and an amazing player. Origin should be paying you a fortune for this. You totally nailed the 90s sitcom vibe too. Made me quite nostalgic!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Isn't if interesting how the 90s sitcoms have such a specific tone and feel. I felt nostalgic as well as I was editing this one. Good times back then, simple times. Thanks again for watching. Catch you next video!

[@AudiomoMusic]

@@SuperdangerStudios man I'd LOVE to work on a track or two together, you're an inspiring dude!

[@tomdillon514]

I'm enjoying your demos. They're creative and really informative. I loved the Iridium and Dream 65 series. In this video, can you clarify what's causing the volume to jump higher at 9:14, 10:32, 11:38, 13:50? Is that coming from the compressor or something else? Also, that pedal steel lick at 14:21 is perfect! I may steal that 🙂

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Yes that is when the room mic comes back on for my dialogue. It is not the pedal or anything. I have a sennheiser shotgun mic pointed down at my head just out of frame and it picks up the guitar sound too when I’m speaking. I try to speak only when the guitar is quiet but sometimes I forget.

[@MrRafaztar]

This is too much talent ❤

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Too kind. Thank you

[@NewHopeAudio]

Your videos are always incredible. This is no exception. I really have 0 interest in the pedal, but I watch because your creativity and artistry is so great. In the guitar/ recording world, I hope you continue to grow the channel but I also hope people hire you for production, video & brand strategy. These are one heck of a resume!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Wow thank you so much. Very generous of you. I’m thrilled that my videos are entertaining you guys. A ton more to come.

[@MrRafaztar]

So, for live use of all this different places in the board you would definitely need a switcher right?

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Yes some kind of switcher or loop pedal would have to be implemented. Although I’m considering throwing one of my other compressors in the front and having the cali76 last in the chain for when I record. But for live I’d probably just have this in front of everything

[@2wheelhopelessgarage258]

I noticed that i need to connect my good headphones that are flat, not boosting any frequensies, to really hear the differencies in the audio.This pedal really is a whale, and i have become Ahab. Awesome video, again. Thank you so much.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Yes the comp differences are very subtle but when you hear it that 5% difference is a big one! Thanks so much for watching!

[@george_richman]

I just purchased the Empress Bass Compressor yesterday. I’m not going to sweat it, because it’s s good pedal nonetheless. This looks like a good pedal, too.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Nice how do you like the empress?
