    It has many uses but the most practical I’ve found for compression (outside the studio) is when you can’t turn up your amp loud enough to hit the sweet spot that it’ll compress naturally

      After playing a buddy's vintage Rickenbacker 12-string, I finally understood why the intro solo was so spastic. The necks/fingerboards on those things are barely wide enough for 6 strings, let alone 12!

    Andy is the best playing to the strength of a given piece of kit. His demos made up my mind on a lot of the guitar & pedal gear I bought. I use an EHX Black Finger tube compressor to bring out the vintage vibes. Thanks Andy & Reverb for the video

    @georgefromgreece4119 3 роки тому +2

    That 8 miles high is perhaps the most tasteful choice of a cover picked up for an intro you have ever made Andy. If you were to do it all over again, you probably would do it differently too. It's such an open composition.

    Compressors are my favorite pedal. I can dial-in my favorite clean tones. I can get that John Mayer sound, Stevie Ray Vaughan's glassy tone. You can get those high-end expensive tones. Super handy pedals.

    Keeley Compressor Plus! Best compressor for any genre (even as outboard gear sometimes!) it’s smooth dynamics, attack/release pickup switch and its sustain!
    And did I forget to mention it’s price!
