That GC2 seems pretty sweet. Most people want a smooth comp; plump the tone and smooths the highs. I like those too I really want a clear, tight, punchy comp. This may fit the bill.
The limiter is harder and brighter. The C4 is surprisingly open, but definitely darker and of the Ross lineage. Together, a match made in tonal Utopia. Well, working class wages Utopia... Kudos for the use of the mighty Psi! I love mine to death
Would it make sense to have my Keeley tone workstation's compressor running first in chain, then put the GC2 at very end for a final run through before amp? I just can't let go of my "always on Keeley comp sound". Anyone ever do anything like this?
Yes - Infact Robert Keeley suggests this on the products web page on the Keeley Site: "I envision people using the new Keeley Limiters in a variety of spots since they can be set for limiting with high compression ratios at the end of the chain and when you set the Threshold rather high, the unit will never make any additional noise or alter your tone. I also imagine people will enjoy the Classic Keeley Compressors for sustain and as a great boutique stomp box compressor at the beginning of their chain. Then possibly add the Limiting Compressor at the end for a final production type of sound and response. Thanks! Robert"
I know it's been years since you posted this... but thanks for the great review and education in end of chain use.
One of the best vids on the Gc-2.

Great! What's your impression of the GC-2 vs the Keeley Comp Pro?

@@lefteyeviewed thanks for taking time to reply! Just when I thought I had read everything his site provides us. There's always something else.
Yep that's what I'm thinking.
I've tried it with other comps. So far, T-Rex Comp Nova in front and C4 post dirt works well - but I'd like the GC2. It's a legit comp/limiter.
8:55 is the money shot
c4 amazing
Compressor plus
C4!!!Very musical tool...
