Hearing the backing track to “In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed” choked me up a bit. I was a junior in high school when The Allmans’ “Live At The Fillmore” came out. I loved that band, and was a huge Duane Allman fan. The song took me back to those days before we lost him. Bittersweet memories, for sure. Thanks Tim.
3:03 😀
I like the smile on his face when he strikes a note with the compressor on.
Makes me wanna get one 💪🏻
Tim, it's always such a joy to watch and listen to you play; the passion you have for the craft is wonderful to see and of course your playing is just exceptional.
Just give Tim his signature guitar Paul. One of the best players in the world has been sharing his love for your company’s great products for years. Show Mr. Pierce some love.
I could honestly listen to Tim all day. Such a musical player. Love it.
Very tasty licks.
100% phenomenal player, and a natural on camera to boot! WIN/WIN for everybody!!!
he is musical but this video is about gear/product placement, not music
@@jfar3340 it's not totally true! It's known UA-cam gear review get 10 times more views than music teaching. Anyway Tim do both sincerely and I never get bored of listening to him playing :)
@@BrunoCOHENstudio :) Hey Bruno thanks for reading my comment. Teaching takes place in classrooms not on youtube, cheers
"In memory of Elizabeth Reed", what a brilliant backing track!
Thanks Tim for going over the ways to use the compressor and in actual musical examples
It sounds very nice! 😀 You play some of the most beautiful licks!
thank you so much! That really helped me, a guitar novice, understand a lot more what compression and gain/boost are doing!
What I like most watching your videos is the joy that shows through - you’re having fun and THAT is why I keep watching. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much...
i thought the same thing
The subtle distortion reminds me of your first solo album „Guitarland“. There are melodies which have a clean tone but then passages with a light crunch depending on the volume level and the attack on the strings. Still a masterpiece for superb guitar tones and great melodies after all these years since its release. I am so grateful for all these tutorial videos and sound examples. Greetings from Germany
Fantastic versatility from this pedal, but the best part of the video is your dynamic playing! Please keep us updated about your gig with your friend at the Baked Potato!
Thanks for this Tim! I struggled understanding the compressor and this has helped a lot.
In the mid 80's I loved the Arion cheaper end compressor/sustainor and used it as a boost like this. I have 2 now and make sure to buy one when they return every so many years so I get it.Thanks for sharing and love your 📹 videos Tim. 👍
That sounds incredible! In both modes.
Wow. That sounds fantastic. As does your playing, as always. Thanks!
Well done, sir, well done. Your joy is infectious! Thank you.
Awesome as always, I'm very interested in a comp pedal, this 1 sounds great! Thanks Tim!!
I love Tim's groove smile. Most folks would be projecting 'ain't I cool, can you beat this?'
Whereas, Tim projects, ' man this is fun how we're all in this wave of creative energy!'
Awesome. Totally agree about the extra drive harmonics breathing life into the sound. I put a boost pedal at near zero settings at the start of my chain one day and turned it on. I never turned it off.
I don't know what the heck he's playing at the end, but I love it - he could play the backing track to the rest of my LIFE. 😍🥰
Thank you for making this video, Tim. I really appreciate the information and the demo..
Glad it was helpful!
That sounds fantastic! I love your playing. Thanks for the great review.
I love your channel. I get enjoyment watching your enjoyment when you're playing. Quite inspirational. Thank you!
You are awesome, Tim! Thanks for all your good advice! 😀
Great useful demo, Tim!! Not only that, but your rhythm playing is just fantastic - brilliant parts! 🔥
Thanks so much I appreciate it
Thank you Tim san.
It's more clean deep sound.
(And I like all man.B sound too. Always I check your site and your great play from Japan :Nagoya.)
Thank you again.😎
I do the same thing with my Marshall DSL100HR head using a db boost pedal by Caline. It tends to not distort the amp, it just waked it up a bit and giving the notes a bit more sustain. Then I also use just a small compressor pedal by Afuaim that really brings life to leads.
I use this pedal with a Dr. Z Maz 18 combo and it sounds great. With just the amp and this pedal I can go from twang to metal by twisting a couple of knobs, Thanks Tim!
Tim, I learned so much about guitar tone in such short time! Great video 🎉
Reminds me of a custom pedal I own, it’s a dual pedal with a boutique clone of the the Boss OD-1 with a sourced 14 pin chip. Going into it is the guts of a 1978-79 MXR Dynacomp compressor with all the Ross compressor pedal mods. I can dial back the gain of the od-1, to make it a cleanish boost - and I cam compress my signal before it hits the od-1 part of the pedal. Because of the availability of gain on tap - I can get dead nuts Angus Young tones.
Love that you used In Memory of Elizabeth Reed for this one, one of my fave songs ever. Great vid, the pedal does sound sick.
It does sound sick - problem is literally EVERYTHING this man plays sounds sick. I'll still give the pedal a shot
TIM!!! always brilliant, cheers Sir from NZ
Great video as always Tim.. ive found myself using clean boost, compression and even a boss EQ pedal instead of drive pedals more and more lately, I love the way you can push the amp just into break up. My favorite is the TC electronic spark pedal with clean, fate or mid boost, such a great pedal for such little money. I'd love to try the PRS pedal, but they dont come cheap.
you don't push the amp into breakup with a pedal that's a fallacy, you just add transistor/solid state circuit into the chain, or if you're pushing ''the front end'' with a boost without drastically increasing the volume then you're just adding preamp gain, which IMO defeats the purpose of most classic tube amp breakup characteristics (we talk about 6V6, 6L6, EL84 etc amps, not 12AT7 amps, and that's for a reason). The only way to organically push an amp into breakup is to turn up the amp volume. Anyway breakup is overrated.
All these drive, boost etc pedals sound the same...
I still use my 70s Ross compression pedal. For years I mostly used it on bass to smooth out the extreme dynamic range, but it's always worked great on guitar like yours and with that nice boost benefit.
Funny thing is my new NUX-MG30 has a copy of the Ross built in, however it doesn't perform as well as the original. Shame because the MG30 is otherwise awesome.
Very nice - Mary Cries sounds like a smoother version of the Bogner Harlow, with a more gradual taper on the boost section.
Thanks Tim , I loved that funk rhythm so much that I immediately copped it with my own accents. Great warmup for the drummer and bass player in my band. Love your diversity. 😊
Love your style and tone ❤
Love the authenticity Tim, thanks for sharing your affinity for this new pedal!
Thanks so much
Nice. Some of the cleanest playing I've heard in a very long time. Very nice Mr. Pierce. :-)
Thank you very much!
Thanks again, Tim!! Gotta have it!!
Paul and his guys did a nice job. Nice playing.
You are a great player getting straight into the pocket and the groove. I LOVE that pedal Tim. Would a bass version cut it like the guitar version?
Sounds great, makes your tone sound really polished n swanky.
Geez Tim, that sounds great!
I love great cleans.
I use a similar approach using Slide Rig pedal ftom Origins Effetct. My main chain is guitar-》Slide Rig 》Lehle active Volume pedale》Dude od》blackface single channel amp.
I saw this yesterday, kinda like the Horsemeat too. I live like 9 miles from the PRS factory.
I'd like to do the same thing with my Helix, buy I'm new to this stuff. Great video!
Hey Tim! Love your videos, keep them up! Honest question here: If you were to just turn up the pre amp gain, wouldn't you get the same tone as with the boost on without any compression from the pedal? Or would it differ?
Thanks Tim
Sounds really good, similar to a Suhr Koji Comp. Your playing is stellar as usual. Plus “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” is one of my faves, man I can jam all day over that.
Wait - I see what you did there! Elizabeth Reed, Paul Reed Smith!
The only downside is the size - “In a world of smaller pedals” (deep movie trailer voice), this seems like it might be popular for studios and bedroom players but not so much for those with limited pedalboard real estate.
love that outdoors footage great sunset/rise not sure when you recorded haha. saw PRS' video on their new pedals yesterday and want the Mary cries the most. good as a boost pedal and a compressor as well
Thank You:)
Holy crap please do an entire album of just that kind of funk man oh my gosh that was so awesome
Very well explained. Impressive pedal.
Glad you think so!
Tim: I hope they are giving you a piece of the action on this. Based on your demo, I am ordering one this morning. Great sound, great demonstration.
Wow, that DGT is gorgeous! Are those the original pickups?
Tim just makes everything sound amazing. I'm not sold that this is better than my tiny Xotic SP though. That's a lot of pedal board real estate.
Interesting. Just this week, I started using the "High/Low Shelf EQ" on my HX Stomp to "wake up" the sound. Works surprisingly well, very similar to what you demonstrated with new PRS Compressor Pedal. Looks like a good.
Tilt eq is great too
I also run my hx into a boost then a comp then buffer out
@@kodykindhart5644 I've started looking into using Tilt as a quick way to balance the overall tone/frequency response of different types of pickups. Need to do more testing.
Thanks Tim, brilliantly demoed
Thank YOU :)
@@timpierceguitar the pleasure is all mine Tim. Take care young man.
Thank you. Great
I have a hard time listening when you use this guitar. It is so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off it. That blue is amazing! Another entertaining and informative video.
I use just a compressor everyday, you use a good fet based, it also a boost with compression, if your looking for a good cheap compressor, the tc electronics is excellent, and cheap, you get awesome clean boost plus compression if needed. But if u want studio quality then this is it, if it's like rack mount LA-2a it's worth the money. It def. Sounds good
Great sunset, Tim!
You make EVERYTHING sound good!
preordered today...........perfect for my ElectroDyne mesa
Much respect Tim...
Really nice pedal and video -- how do you think it compares to the Dyna-Comp (just for the compression)?
Sounds sooooo good! Which year is that DGT?
Hi Tim, great playing as always.
Would you use this pedal or any like it either in front of the fm9 or after before going to the mixer or interface? Either way I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
I have the good old boss compression/sustainer cs-2 and it's always on. :)
Optical compression is really good for guitar the LA3 and LA4 were very popular solid state optical compressors for tracking guitars. I personally use a more aggressive compression on my live guitar setup, just to get that hard chicken-pickin attack with a rack ART PWM compressor called the ART dual limiter. But in the studio I have always leaned more toward optical compressors. So this might be a very good investment for me. Good thing my best friend is a PRS dealer!! LOL!
Optical compressors in general are typically more subtle than FET compressors, but they each have their own sound and feel. FET-style compressors add a nice "spank" and sparkle to your clean tone, especially if you're using single coils. However, an optical compressor works brilliantly as an always-on pedal.
Hey Tim - do you have a lesson on the funk-style playing that you break into at the 3:25 mark on this video? Love it! More please!
0:44 tim pierce smiles coz nothing is changes 😂
Hi Tim, you’re a bloody legend mate. Love your content. For an “always on” pedal, please have a look at Jesse’s gear @ 29pedals. The EUNA & OAMP put a smile on your dial every time mate!
Thanks again 👏🏼
Sounds great. Is this an optical based design compressor/sustainer ?
Of all the reviewers on the new PRS pedals I've seen, this is the first one I've believed. We all know Paul can be a hothead, and no one who deals with PRS regularly would want to piss him off. And I know you know him too, Tim, but in spite of that, I think you're being truthful. And I know you too Tim, though you probably don't remember me. I hired you a long time ago to play some jazzy guitar on a record. Anyway, I'm now really interested in this pedal. Killer tone through that old Marshall. Great review, thanks.
Paul and I argue with each other and get mad at each other, happens all the time :)...., David--Thanks for the comment!
@@timpierceguitar Inevitable!!
Nice Video Tim
Thanks for the video Tim. Although in the past I do remember you saying you weren’t that keen on compressors due to the effect they can have on player dynamics. Perhaps this is a trade-off for the need of evenness in the studio.
Great point!
Shows all you need is an old Marshall, a good transparent boost, and Tim - to make awesome guitar music! PS - A nice PRS is a plus!
That sunset!
I have a Fulltone fat boost. It is always on at the end of my signal chain. Once I heard what it did to my sound, the subtle sweet enhancement and a subtle sweet boost, I never turn it off.
I typed this comment before I watched the video. Glad to see I thought of something cool on my own lol.
At about 4:10 I think I heard a jazzier version of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”--would love to hear it in it’s entirety whether I am right or wrong.
you are right, and someday I'll do a full version
Sounded like a part from the original studio version. Second album I believe.
I'm using a wampler ego as boost for heavier tones. it works better than just more gain
Can't live without my Ego.
that's the sweetest clean to edge of break up tone from a marshall i've heard too. great sounding compressor.
the attack and release is perfect, even though not adjustable, the compressor is so perfectly tuned to just excite the tone and not be too obvious.
really? and you can tell that through youtube?
The thing I like the best about this guys videos is that he’s showing us how the stuff works, not how fancy he could play. Although he could play super fancy if you wanted to
I sort of do the same thing with an SP Compressor and BOSS Super Distortion overdrive.
3:24 what a nice soulful riff
I love that Compressor pedal.
nice sounding!
Suzanne, thank you!
There's an old interview with Neil Young and Stephen Stills that still might be on UA-cam in which they were asked what the most important thing was that they learned when they started recording Buffalo Springfield lps and they answered in unison: Compression. I always preferred the sound of the LA-2A to the 1176 myself. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned.
Cool idea!
This is super cool! Did you check out the horsemeat as well?
If you just need boost. I would suggest using a 7 or 10 band EQ with just the level decibel level pulled up a little bit. That's what I use with my single coil when I need just a little more something but not quite that muddy sound of a Les Paul
Yes :)
Finding an 'always on' pedal is both invigorating and dangerous! 🎸
killer groove
Its nice man👍🎸🎼🙏
I've been using a Boss compressor for clean boost more than for compression for years.
Outro jam was godly!
Hi Tim, would you say this pedal helps to tame the harsh highs when used as compression?
