WAMPLER EGO 76 | An Authentic 1176 Style Pedal Compressor | In-Depth Demo and Performance

[@davidperezgonzalez1839]

We needed this demo because everybody is doing clean demos on 99.9 per cent of compressors. Except you and Brian W itself. Thanks!!

[@SixStringAlliance]

Thank you!! Glad you found it useful

[@madolly2000]

Knocked it out of the park again

[@SixStringAlliance]

Cheers fella .. great pedal

[@davidohanlon8494]

A wonderful tutorial ! I own an older, but not ancient, compressor and have learned much from your video and has aided in my decision to upgrade.

[@SixStringAlliance]

Thanks you. I’m glad you found it helpful

[@tonyschaefer]

for gainy leads, does it work better after the Overdrive pedal or bevor? Studio comps usualy are after overdrive pedals and amp preamp. Sorry, all OK - I should have waited till the video was finished. I ordered the pedal and looking forward. By the way very nice playing man.

[@SixStringAlliance]

I ran it after for the purpose of this video, as I wanted to add sustain to the drive. But normally I’d run before. I used it for a session today and ran it before a Marshall Guv’nor

[@tonyschaefer]

Thanks very much.

[@SixStringAlliance]

You're welcome!

[@robb4340]

Very Tasty Tones !

[@SixStringAlliance]

Thank you!! It’s an “always on” pedal, just so good

[@CBGypsy03]

Wow great playing. How's the noise floor in the room ?

[@SixStringAlliance]

Thank you. What do you mean by the noise floor in the room?

[@CBGypsy03]

@SixStringAlliance Hey, all I mean is the pedal noisy? In the room is there hiss .... etc etc. Compressors can have a lot of that going on Haha. Thanks :)

[@SixStringAlliance]

It depends on how much gain there is from the drive or amp, verses how much you’re pushing with the compressor output. But I found for more subtle uses it wasn’t bad, but more gain with a compressor means more hiss

[@CBGypsy03]

@@SixStringAlliance Thanks !!

[@jasonlee8497]

I need to hear a comp in the room. Moderate volume. Sounds nice here though.

[@SixStringAlliance]

It’s great.. I used it today for a job. Just had it there for some tonal dressing, and it really worked nicely

[@badarmenia]

How’s does it sound with more distortion/gain?

[@SixStringAlliance]

I didn’t use it with too much distortion, I personally wouldn’t feel the need to add compression to a very saturated sound, but I’d imagine it would work well.

[@stratocumulusnimbostratus328]

Is it front of amp or in fx loop

[@SixStringAlliance]

Running it in front I could push the amp hard for the rhythm under the solo, and to add sustain to the Tumnus for the solo.

[@stratocumulusnimbostratus328]

@@SixStringAlliance ​​⁠thanks. In Brian’s video he kinda alluded that it was designed more for the FX loop as wasn’t a dyna style. BbSo wondering if you tried that and what the results were like but great video thanks

[@SixStringAlliance]

@@stratocumulusnimbostratus328 I didn’t try it that way as I had specific applications I wanted it to do front end. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@YoYaDude]

What's the order? Compressor ->Distotion->Amp?
