I’m a Barber Electronics devotee. I use his v2 LTD, Silver LTD, AND his newer Gain Changer for all my gain stacking… AND now I have included Barbers Tone Press compressor.
I absolutely swear by Dave Barbers stuff!
Very nicely done video. Really shows the difference between these three compressors.
i have all de pedals. Diamond all the waaaaaaaaaaaay!
Phillip how’s the noise floor on the diamond?
Diamond is the best I have ever used it’s shapes my whole sound
Nick Wilson how’s the noise floor on it?
Are you using the Diamond BigBox or the Jr ? Thinking about purchasing one. Thanks for any Input. Every demo - The Diamond Sounds Incredible.
For my ears? It’s the cali76. Love the transparency and controls.
Nice and thorough presentation
Always wondered how Thomas used the Diamond Compressor you see him with on his website... nice :)
Thanks for posting! Very clear explanation! Loved the Diamond! I have an MXR Script Reissue Handwired I bought to emulate Andy Summers and John McGeoch, but I find that it takes away a bit too much off the low notes. Then, years ago I saw a video comparing regular compressors with optical and I felt that the latter types are more what I'm looking for.
Great Demo of 3 Top-tier compressor pedals. I am currently in the market for a Compressor and I will say: I own a Diamond Tremolo and it is absolutely fantastic. I thought the Diamond in this video, made the guitar Sound the Biggest & Punchiest. The only other compressor pedals, I have looked at: Wampler Ego (large), Keeley Pro and Bondi 2026. Enjoyed the Video and information.
Really nice playing 👏🏼
I love diamond compressor!
The Cali76 @ 4:15 is soooo sweet and so is the Keeley Compressor Pro.(Not on this video.) I'm a musician, not representative of any company. I have used many compressors in my experiences and the two I mentioned are the only ones that offer studio grade compression, or rack mount type compression in a pedal/stomp-box format, that I have ever used. I'm just hoping to save someone some time and a few headaches.
Keeley's bassist compressor is also excellent, but formatted for low frequencies. All the others I have tried don't compress to a complete "squash" of the frequencies and then offer enough headroom or make-up gain to compensate WITHOUT DISTORTING! Keeley and Cali76 can, which simply means that you can use nearly any frequency, i.e; keyboard, microphone, bass, guitar and easily find the correct amount of compression for that application. Again, just my experience and my opinion only..... Also, I have found that the Keeley compressor is the easiest to dial in. Hopes this helps someone with their decision.
The Diamond kills the Kelley. You must try. ;)
I have both the Keeley Compressor Plus and the Diamond Compressor Jr. and I can say the Diamond destroys the Keeley in almost every way. The Keeley is just a glorified clone of the Ross/Dyna comp FET circuits along with hundreds of other clones that sound all similar to the Keeley, so it's nothing special. If I wanted a Ross/Dyna comp FET based compressor, I'd go for the Wampler Ego. The Diamond, on the other hand, is an optical compressor with the most simple controls ever(tilt EQ, volume, and comp) and it's way quieter and brighter than the Keeley, which seems to have a rolled off high-end, even though it's slightly more transparent than the Diamond thanks to the Blend knob(the only benefit over the Diamond). But the Diamond's ease of use(turn it on and leave it) that let's you focus on playing rather than tweaking, way less noise floor(better for single coils and overdriven tones), and WAY better EQ from the ease of tilting and no low/high end loss. Being optical, you can also see how much compression is being applied from the little LED light from the Diamond, which is still some metering, even though it's not the best metering. I am definitely buying a Cali76 Stacked Edition compressor next and hoping my search for a compressor would be finished.
@@Xn4W so did you buy the Cali 76 and is it better than the diamond in your opinion? :)
Cali76 seem really popular these days. Any orange squeezer fans? I have to say that I liked the diamond here but the effectrode really surprised me.
Love the explanations here - I've been running my amps hard on master volume and that's why I haven't felt need to have a compressor but perfect to understand better that it's helpful in scenarios where that is not possible.
Pop some good head phones on and that Cali is super clean!! But $329! Ouch! However I’ll probably still get it 😂
Thanks
Love the Diamond Compressor, wasn't familiar with the Diamond, it's one to consider.
I own the cpr1, central to my tone.
WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS CHANNEL BEFORE
I don't know that David Gilmour uses the diamond compressor, if the Cali76 is right for him, then it's right for me too!
Greetings
how many Volts were you using on the Diamond?
DIAMOND FTW!!
Hi Thomas!
Love compressors. I have the Cali76 Stacked, Thorpy, and Keeley c4. My favorite guitarist is Syd Barrett but I get Gilmore’s appeal.
Hi sir... Which would you say is more "Transparent" the Cali 76 stacked ir the Thorpy Fat General? I'm looking for one that adds lots of sustain but doesn't color my signal... Thanks
@@jean-lucbell7571 Cali76 Stacked and CD are the cleanest of all compressors in the market
@@vcthnp thanks!
@@jean-lucbell7571 sorry to tell you that advice is wrong. i have the cali 76 and it colours your amps tone in a nice way but it isnt transparent. it has a buffered input. the thorpy on the other hand is transparent and retains your amps tone. this is the truth, be careful who you trust in comments sections. i love my 76 stacked but it IS NOT transparent. go on guitar forums, you will find im correct
Diamond all the way!!!!!!!
David gilmour without fingers will still sounds like David gilmour.
Hello Thomas! Another great video of yours! :) am wondering, how differently the 3 types of compressors work, though you stop explaining in the clip (probably because it could be another lecture-long video), it would be interesting to hear. No matter what, I am about to check it out on the internet :)
Thanks so much for the interesting video!!
For “everything compressor” that you want to know I recommend ovnilab . com
Can diamond compressor run in 12 volts?
9-24 Vcc, more volts=more headroom
Diamond
The Effectrode seems to have a swell effect to it...
Late answer but Mr. Blug is driving the input too hard. It looked like he had the input at about 1:00. I have mine at 9-10:00 depending on the output level of my pickups.
How’s the noise floor on the diamond?
The Diamond is a quiet compressor, very low noise..... (mine is anyway).
@@axenut1802 Are you using the Diamond BigBox or the Jr ? Thinking about purchasing one. Thanks for any Input.
@@michael_caz_nyc BigBox. So good. Quiet, and simple subtle pedal th.
sorry hit the wrong button... quiet and subtle pedal that never squishes or over colors. Sweet/soft compression and an 'always on' type of pedal. Hope this helps.
@@axenut1802 Thanks. I will contact Diamond, and see if the Smaller Unit is Exactly the same circuit. Appreciate the info.Their Tremolo Pedal is Phenomenal.
The URIE compressor is Not pronounced as one word. It’s U R I E. It’s part of JBL Pro which I use to work for back in the 80’s. So... No Janglebox? I’ve used the Jamglebox since they came out. They really are very musical!
well youve forgotten a lot since then as its actually urei, not urie. and everyone calls it urei anyway, never heard anyone say the u r e i 1176, ever. and if they ever said u r e i, how could you get that mixed up?
The diamond has no sustain.
Well, you played totally different licks, on each compressor... so?
Yeah...you noticed that too....seems incredibly biased !
