Finally a great demo of the sidechain! Did you feed it from a microphone on a kick or was the TRS cable attached to the output of a digital drum machine?
The clearest compressor pedal available maybe? The only one I've seen with LED meters - that's a HUGE plus for me so I can be very sure what is happening when I adjust the setting, plus a sidechain!?!? I honestly think this unit rivals rack unit compressors.
transparent ??? between "on" and "off" YES. Between no pedal and pedal plugged (but off) I ear a difference (on my rectifier and its the same on my mark III). Its normal ? what can I do ?
I guess when you place an EQ pedal inbetween you can solve that potential problem and make it respond only to the frequencies of the kick, but a kick mic placed at the bass drum mostly picks up kick anyway.
How fast? Still plucks on cleans bro. Pluck , and the reason why many pros can't stand stompbox compressors. Emphasized pluck is simply awful. Still waiting the day when a proper compressor stompbox will be released.
That last use you gave to that compressor blew my mind. I'm definitely getting one now!
Been on YT since it began. This is one of the best demo's I have ever seen. Sub'd !
Can you pls advise your sidechain setup: gear, routing that you used? Great demo, I own one of these and finally “got it”. Thanks.
Was just about to ask the same question...

Wow, Gabe, nice demo!
Two years ago I sold all of my compressors.
Thinking of picking this guy up....
And I just got it in the mail today. Guess that didn't take too long!

cool. I was looking for this kind of video on youtube for nearly 1h - showing ducking effect on pedal with compression 10:1 or above. THX
‘Ghosts ‘n’ fuzz’. Nice!
Whoa! That sidechain was awesome!
man this review is wonderful. thanks for sharing.
Podrías hacer una comparación entre el Empress compresor y el compresor Cali 76 TX-P de Origine Effects ?
Why there is saturation at 0:56 ?
When the sidechain kick came in I thought powerman 5000 was on
how would the pedal sound on a real kick including the kit? would noises (snare, tom, hat) bleed in to the sidechain mic?
