Guitar Pedalboard Essentials - Compressor.

A few weeks ago I released a video about the Boss GE-7. I was asking if this is the pedal we all need on our pedalboards. In this video, I continue in the series where I'm looking at my pedalboard essentials, and this video is all about compressor pedals. The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

I think most people use the pedal all wrong. Sitting down and fiddling around with any pedal and in coordination with your other pedals is a must.😬

The Keeley 4 knob, is the first thing my cord goes into. For me the blend knob is the secret sauce of this pedal. Mine has been set at 11 o'clock for years. No matter what amp or modeller I'm playing through I really like the string feel with the comp on.

I have one of these guys. It is stellar.

Sold my Keeley Compressor + & Cali76 for the Boss CP-1X and it’s awesome … so transparent and so good. The Keeley takes away top end and bottom end (hence the need for tone control)… the Boss CP-1X sounds exactly like your original guitar tone but with compression (it doesn’t squash your tone).

Love my keeley Compressor +

I've got a pretty good ear but I can never tell the difference with these compression videos.?

Lately I am so hooked up with Paul's guitar techniques. God bless you Paul, love from India.

[@WCGaming18228]

Paul's tone and choice of pedals (except for the AxeFXIII) has become a guide for me. At first it was subconscious when I used the plumes as my drive sound, but then I realized what was going on.

Can I still use my volume knob to clean up the guitar sound if I am using a compressor??

[@Idontlikethisever]

I love that this prs has no birds 😂😂. Sounds great

[@newsongok]

I just bought this pedal. Your video was so…helpful. Best video out there. Keeley needs to pay you guys!!

Tom Scholz is the godfather of using a compressor on guitar...

[@mikedervos5974]

Finally someone demonstrate this pedal with humbuckers on high gain lead tone ...thank you! Sounds great,thats what i was looking for!

[@AdADglgmutShevanel]

Thanks for the great explanation! This one of those pedals that I really didn't understand for years.

[@christianneumann7608]

Great advice, thank you very much!

I love my Maxon CP9pro+ ...it rocks <3

[@morganfreeman89]

Great!!! Thanks.

[@johns4751]

My lack of understanding of compression has made me avoid using these pedals.This video really helped and the Keeley Comp is a brilliant product. Thanks Paul!

[@scottdunn2178]

With a compressor you feel it more than you hear it...

[@nigel900]

Very nice. 👍🏻
