I have an ebs multi comp. It has a 5:1 ratio. I'm looking for a little more out of a compression pedal and I think this is the one I'll get next. Thanks for another great video!
Nice pedal. It’s like an 1176 in a pedal in term of the controls (same ratios same attack/release control direction etc). I wanna buy one so bad and compare it to my 1176 clone 😝😝😝
This is 1:1 UREI 1176 compressor in a box, except for the transformers. Which can be remedied with DI box. Dumbest thing MXR could have done is naming it Bass Compressor. It takes line input signal no problem, i even had condenser mics like akg c1000, and Rode nt3 plugged directly into it.
I figured compression was compression for the most part. And the only bass apecific parts would be a hpf/lpf or something like that. Like the Cali76 Bass compressor. I can find a decent clone of the bass pedal but not the matching guitar compressor pedal, so I was considering buying the cali76 bass comp clone for guitar.
There’s no such thing as a bass compressor, a compressor is a compressor. This can be used for guitar, bass, keys, drums, whatever. In fact, MXR, released the exact same pedal and called it the Studio Compressor, the only thing they changed was the paint color. Grab one of these, they work wonders for guitar tone, once you learn how to use it.
That's actually pretty awesome to use a compressor to actually *lower* the gain to make a cleaner sound. I don't think I've ever actually seen anyone do that before.
Spoke to Ryan after doing this video and that's actually how he uses it on bass - cleans everything up slightly for most of the song and then turns it off during guitar solos for a little extra grind.
Interesting. It sounds good. I deal with metal tones, so EMG’s are always on the menu. Recently I’m wanting to swap the EMG’s with SD Alnico ll’s, and use a compressor to boost the front end. Depending on which compressor pedal’s used, it could compensate, and give more control over compression. A 1.5 Ratio + mix knob would help. Thanks, take care :)
One weird problem I've always had with my bass guitars is that the low E string is always massively unbalanced in terms of tone. The E string is always super full and thick and bassy and epic, but the other strings in comparison just feel wimpy in comparison. So when I play groove that jumps between the E and A strings, it sounds kind of weird. A compressor does help with the volume, but the raw tone between the strings is wildly different.
One of the best compressor for the buck on used market, it works exactly like a CLA76...The attack and release are so logic, push it and it gets faster
After all this years i playing guitar, now i know what compressor pedal do. Seriously asking, why on a clean part of a song some guitarist have comp pedal on. I just dont understand clean and compres??? Why not using a single coil pickup guitar...it is compressed enough.
This is a truly great compressor pedal.
It doesn't get the love it deserves.
Couldn't agree more!
Ryan: "My settings! What did you do to my settings!" 😁
"sorry bro!"
Well done mate!

I ❤️ MXR pedals ... got 8 of them besides a behringer wah pedal & Ibanez tuner , Mooer drum pedal .

Well there’s also the Studio Compressor by mxr, I wonder how different they sound 🤔
@@matiasrengel3143 exact same pedal, i had them both disassembled. They just changed the name to avoid the confusion.
@@BUPETA3351 I wanna see how it compares to my 1176 clone 😝 prob not even close
@@matiasrengel3143 search for MXR Bass (M87 or Studio M76) Compressor vs 1176 Shootout on YT
This is a rebrand like you said. Apparently the bass envelope filter sounds great too if you believe Eric Gales ;)
Yep!
My brother has this for his bass and rarely uses it. Needless to say his pedal board is going to be a little bit lighter now.
:D
Great video, thank you for sharing

Try lowering the pickups on the bass side and raising them for the higher strings
same problem with my 5 string. B string is loud enough to make my neighbours think i'm setting off a bomb
Maybe a funk bomb lol...@@promitroy95

Yeah it's a beast!
THIS. Exactly. It works just like a channel on some of the most coveted famous old studio compressors.
Simple. Brilliant.
Which amp model was that Leon? Your go to JM45?
Correct!
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Mine just died ;/
