These videos are absolutely STELLAR! As well as your playing...
Thank you for sharing your time and your gift/talent with us!
Peace! 🙏🏽
Great review and fantastic playing. Satisfyingly smooth. Cheers!
Love your reviews man. Keep up the fantastic work!
Shopping for a cheap compressor pedal and this video was exactly what I needed. Ended up going with the Behringer. Thanks a lot!
Another GEM of a review mate!! Keep up the great work!!
Rothwell have a fantastic simple compressor that isn't based on one type alone.It is called the Love Squeeze pedal.
The Tone Corset sounds great here.
Edit: I bought the Tone Corset and OD Glove. They sound great together.
Thank you
0:50 Behringer CS-400 (set at pretty low volume)

3:10 No Comp
Nice upload, THANKS!
Which one did you like best? Thx in advance!
@@xebio6 Tone Corset seems to be hard to beat.
@@xebio6 the Behringer comes in last in 4th place, but it’s still a reliable budget comp.
The Boss CS-3 feels almost indistinguishable at times, with a bit more fidelity and boosted highs. Boss comps have never been my favorites, the CS-3 is just as average as it gets. The CS-2 was a more musical circuit, but I think it was also modified during its original run, so you have to search a bit if you want a good one, I think.
2nd place is the Forcefield. When I think TC Electronics pedals, I usually start with the Hypergravity. But the Forcefield might best it. Anyone know what makes them different?
1st is the Tone corset. One of the coolest comps on the present market. Like EHx tried to mimic the Keeley comp pro from their Soul Preacher circuit. Picking a used one up for $50-60 is gonna benefit anyone who needs a good compressor for recording!
Had a break from UA-cam because of life but very happy to see youve done this. Always love your comparisons and your dynamic playing really suits a compressor comparison. Listening to compressors and hearing attributes change is a skill in itself and is a good way for people to hone their ears. You can really tell the changes in character of attack, and more importantly release here. Longer release is great for lead but as times gone on ive learned to appreciate more energetic compressors as i play much like you and I like it when they get out of the way quicker. All the best for the new year from North Wales Uk!
Thank you so much for your support, hope greater things will come to you this 2020....happy new year!
@@MusicBlissMalaysiaTV Little did he know, what was around the corner for us all....
Dude! Your playing is sensational.
Well done! Great playing. Thanks!
I don't care anymore why I came here, I just love your playing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Came for the effect, stayed for the playing
No kidding!!!
For just a few dollars more, the TC Electronic Hypergravity is a very nice and versatile compressor with a blend control.
Love your playing Good
For me it's very hard to hear the difference. Which mean they're all about the same. But for more in depth review maybe consider running a looper and quickly switch between pedal?
I think the blend function for compressors is a must (for me it allows to dial a compression that I don't need to turn off when using with distortion), so the only one here that I would use it's the Tone Corset.
I agree, parallel compression is a must. Great to give you plenty of sustain but also let the attack shine through.
The Tone Corset is great.I'm surprised BOSS haven't caught on to a Blend yet.
The Boss CS-3 hands down. I've blown more money than I can count on other expensive compression/sustain pedals and I always come back to
the Boss CS-3 everytime. It is the smoothest compressor pedal on the market.
Great playing man. Would have liked to see how each of them reacted behind some dirt pedals to see how noisey they get
My Tone Corset arrives this week! Great review. Enjoyed your playing.
I ditched it after trying it. Compression doesn’t do anything for me.
@@captainzeb1969you're a clown...just give it to me then... I need it combined with my metal zone....😆
I made a list of affordable compressors that have the “blend” knob. I couldn’t find a good comparison between them, and it would be really cool to see them side by side in a video. I’ll leave this as a suggestion!
Joyo Pipebomb vs Nux Komp Core Deluxe vs SanJune GB-CP vs EHX Tone Corset as a comparison.
Your videos are great! Keep it up!
Thanks. 👍🏻
The blend knob O Yeah!!!
Funny, when I saw the topic I was hoping you had the Joyo since I bought one a couple of years ago and I’m quite happy with it. I’ve paid hundreds for some pedals over the years (POG2 I love you) but I have no problem with low price pedals that do the job. This is a great series, thanks!
Yeah, was about to grab it only to find out we sold out....
@@MusicBlissMalaysiaTV That's one of those positive disappointments :D
@@binface9 Indeed.....
Analog baby...analog....no need for a compressor that's not analog. The empress effects analog compressor would be my number one choice but I have a tone corset for now due to the price point. Compressing with digital is the worst
I have the Nux Masamune..check it out. I just bought a Behringer for my friend as a gift. Playability and price is often what beginners need in a pedal. Sound quality and over paying comes later.
i have the nux sculpture and it's really good.
Thanks for making this. What I was hoping to hear was a single string - bending a note and holding it out as long as it will go. That will tell how useful a compressor is in a solo situation.
Great tip.....noted for future demos.....
literally the only useful thing to show how good a compressor is and he didn't do it lol
@@1199ccttvit's all about the feel. Not the sustain. That's what compression is about. He did it enough justice.
I bought the Behringer years ago for 25$ new. Have bought 3 “higher end” compression pedals to replace it. I still have the Behringer. Pedals that cost 4-5 times as much ended up on Craigslist. But I’ve got high hopes for the Philisophers Tone by pigtronix. Until then, that Behringer pedal has been superb.
I’m not much of a fan of the Philosophers Tone. I have the full sized (5 knob) one, and find it a bit fiddly and don’t care much for the drive control at all (which seems to end up in the mix even at zero). The pedal does have its fans- it doesn’t get that squashed sound. I recently got the Safron Squeeze by Way Huge and like that a lot. While it does have the same number of controls, three of them are kind of auxiliary. Plus it is very, very quiet.
That name "Philisophers Tone" ... brilliant!
same here. it’s a clone of BOSS CS-3. “always on” pedal
Noob
Just got the, Behringer eBay... 30 bones. Easy decision. Thanks for vid and yeah I'm pinching a few riffs. Cheers.
Came here for the pedals.... stayed for those stank ass riffs!!!! 🔥
Wow! Nice chops! I hope to be able to play even half that well at some point 👍
With time & practice, all shall be....
Can you recall what the noise levels were like bewteen these 4 compressors?
Thank you kindly!
Good vid, so "tums up".
Which do you think is best to combine to metal zone, tone corset or bosd cs-3?
I'm thinking about getting a compressor simply to sit in my effects loop. There are a couple videos here on UA-cam that show what that does but many of you may already know. When you're distorted it makes your pick attack super punchy then drops in volume for the rest of the note. It sounds just like a tube amp cranked to the max and sagging. Just awesome. You guys think just the cheapest crappiest compressor is fine for that? Anyone out there tried?
As long as you have an attack knob and a long enough attack time available, it should be fine :)
They all sound pretty great!
Particularly the Behringer. Do you have any experience with the Behringer CP9?
Unfortunately I've never tried that one. Not really popular here in our country as well, we barely sell/stock up that model.
@@MusicBlissMalaysiaTV Thanks for your response. From further research around UA-cam the model demo'd here sounds - to my ears - superior.
@@binface9 Indeed, more control options. Sounds great for the price. But of course in terms of on the road durability, your mileage might vary
¡Bien tocado!
The Tone Corset pedal is great!! Apparently it takes the others!!
Would you recommend the beringer for country?
Are these cheap because of the price or because of the output quality?
tc electronic is the best that's why i bought it.
Berhinger sounds very decent
I found my CS-3 too be much noisier than the Behringer CS 400 which is basically the same circuit (see JHS pedals channel, What is up with Behringer pedals?) So the
CS 400 occupies the compressor spot on my pedalboard. I own a vintage Ross and an old MXR dyna comp amongst my collection.
The tonal differences between the Boss CS-3 and the Behringer CS400 are negligible .
Can the cs400 be used on acoustic guitar?
Tone Corset surprised me.
Your Tele is incredibly beautiful
I am new to the compressor, it's my understanding that you want to put it early in the chain before your dirt pedals and then I read some people put it after ?? IDK
Guitar -> drive -> comp -> ampli
Behringer retains the zing much better.
compresor sustainer ni apw fungsinye.. kasi bunyi panjang ke .. sape2 blh jelas kan.. bahase ingeris x fhm la
CS-3 all the way;
Forcefield afterwards;
Tone Corset if nothing else is possible;
Behringer... Oh, well. (get an EMG active, perhaps)
Excellent video, mate!
If pedal is not true bypass like this- is it still worth it to DIY replace with new switch?
Is true bypass crucial? Depending on your rig a buffered pedal early in the sigNail chain, such as where most players use their compressor is often a benefit in terms of signal loss.
A buffer is good. If it is a tone sucker return it
CS-3 is the Boss
I have always thought compressors were a bit of a con trick. The perceived wisdom is that they improve your sound but I think it's more a case of the king's new clothes. Nevertheless I went out and bought one-----the much celebrated Keeley Compressor Plus. It made hardly any difference and was no better than any of the ones in this video. I quickly sold it.
It depends on what you’re using the compression in order to achieve. A compressor can also have a great effect on other effects. Regardless, compression is not a “con trick” in any sense of the phrase. However, the vast majority of people who purchase compression pedals have little understanding of their function, and often don’t even notice when the effect is effective. A compressor isn’t going to benefit novice guitarists, or even some “intermediate” players. But compression is one of the more important effects to people who use it correctly/usefully.
@@marjimhip8487 Agreed. It can make little difference and it can even make things worse, but sometimes it's important.
Try the Joyo Avallon..a very cheap budget pedal... I had so many compressor pedals as i play a lot of heavy funk etc..but this one is definitely up there with someone the high end ones..
Is this compressor pedal suitable to be installed before/after the drive pedal?
or after all the other pedals?
Guitar -> drive -> comp -> ampli
@@leoperalta4941 what if after pedal drive I use multi effect?
where should the comp pedal be placed?
@@oyabunthelastsamurai2550 If you will add multi effects I don't know for now... You can try anyway, if it works after or before the comp., just trial and error. But basically the ideal thing is the signal chain I wrote above... If there is multi effects/processor maybe guitar > multi effects > overdrive > comp > ampli...try it
I couldn't tell any difference. I need to hear the sustain of each pedal, timing how long the notes last would be a great help.
Maybe if you'd use headphones you'll be able to hear how much squash and how the pedals affect the low end & high end....sustaining is a completely different setting and not the aim of the test....if your goal is to sustain notes well it doesn't matter how the pedals will affect the tone, you just need it to sustain.........
4:00 The Forcefield sounds kinda unnatural
Tone Corset bro!
should i buy Boss or Tc electronic?
Mooer
Boss
@@joobchrismac8706 hola y entre un boss y el dynacomp?
El tc
Behringer or TC ? ^^
Same company now.
El TC es realmente muy bueno , acabo de comprarlo y de lejos es mejor que el Boss CS3. ( sobre todo que no cambia el tono )
Hola amigo..estoy en duda entre el dyna comp y el tc electronic..dices que respeta el sonido real?
Entonces te falta mucho por aprender
@@elninjadelaguitarra4794compra el Boss no hagas caso. No sabe ecualizar. El boss es transparente,tiene buffer,silencioso, control de Tono ¿le sigo?
Ok if you think pedals that cost 100 bucks or more are cheap then your spoiled. the average american would be lucky to afford a 100 dollar pedal.
And the winner is: electro Harmonics Tone Corset!
Which is 3 x the price of the berringer which was great
ChrisAndTommy GoodTimeFolkRockShow haha im with you dude
Edit- but have to give the tone to the electro harmonix 😂🤷♂️ kids this is why we finish the video before commenting
Because he saved the funkiest riffs for that pedal lol
Everyone talks about the sound. I'm more interested in what a compressor delivers in terms of feel.
Cheap? JAJAJAJJAJAAAJJAJA
Thats the cheap ones?? okay..
