Thats great .Nice playing too !!
The simple way of putting it, it evens out the notes played on all the strings, y'know how when you get to your D and G string, the notes can sound thinner and lacking beef, as it were, a compressor just keeps it all nice and even! Someone would be able to explain better than that, read into it.
The one I got for my guitar has been mind blowingly good. EXTREMELY transparent, and I'd suggest it any day!
Can anyone tell me how well does this work on an Electric-Acoustic Bass???
Can anyone tell me exactally what a bass compression pedal does??????
how about the sound if I use fender p-bass?what could be setting?
..any disadvantages to using on guitar? I've heard it's "an 1176 in a pedal", which the controls suggest. dream come true if that is a proper assessment...
Daryl Does it again Another must buy pedal
I am using one for guitar....it is exceptional
damn good compressor, I want one, NOW!
Hello Darryl, i use the M87 for one week now and i have a bit of a problem using the 20:1 setting with fast attack as mentioned in the user manual. Without any led lith i hear very much distortion. Can you tell what goes wrong?
What is the bag brand is it? :)
well you've got a good point. i know tim commerford(RATM) uses an aphex punch factory compressor. for me personally it adds a little spice to my tone.
i dunnno man, why spend 150 bucks on a pedal with limited effects than spend more money on a really nice amp that can compress and even more
Bassist use compressor pedals to kind of "Beefen up" our bass tone, or get a "punchier" tone from compressor pedals. bassist also use it to balance out different playing styles. for example a bass player plays softly, then switches to a aggressive slap bass line with out distorting the P.A. speakers at a venue. more than likely he is using a compressor pedal. hope this helps. a compressor pedal is probably the most used pedal among bassist, yet it is a vary subtle effects pedal!
somebody needs to expain to me what a bass compressor is supposed to do
Very good piece of equipment! Lovely!
Im new to this compressor stuff. Do you live this on all the time or something?
Trust MXR to bring out a decent compressor. Spent a long time waiting for a propper compressor pedal with real controls and a decent Gain Reduction read out.
Hi guys, what's the signal flow here? Sounds killer I thought.
Stick
GREAT demo and it looks like a great product. Please MORE of both. Pedal looks great.Couple questions: why no short attack demo? Any comp sounds smooth with a long attack. This makes me think either this comp is grabby/ugly or the demonstrator just doesn't understand the pedal? And why is this marketed only to bass? Is the high end response bad? Power consumption?
THIS is a great demo. No talki, but you know what going on. Perfect demo for compression. MORE PLEASE!
so this (pedal) is the shit?
That's some love makin' music.
Dammit guy, you got me first with your M288 Bass Octave Deluxe & M82 Bass Envelope Filter (which are both fantastic on their own, but used together in a "funk" tonal situation seem to be made for each other!) and now after viewing the video on your new Bass Compressor... let's just say I very well might be in the market for a new compressor.
MXR, I just can't quit you... ;-)
This thing looks and sounds so slick.
Is it just me or did the sound become boomy when the compressor was engaged? I usually have a compressor to eliminate boominess, not enhance it.
seems freakin awesome!!!!!!
Thanks for the great demo Darryl. I enjoyed your playing as much as seeing and hearing the features of this new, versatile bass pedal. I'll probably buy it.
i like the leds i don't like the compessor
He makes bass look so easy...
one guy doesn't like compressors
Most normal compressors roll off the low end, which makes them unusable for bassists. Bass comps retain the low end.
maybe because the black guys are better bass players than white guys even more than playing boring music metal
haha!!! I KNEW IT!!! the glasses delated him! hehe... i aways wondered if i was the only one that had interest in the making ofs! maybe all the musicians had much fun seeing the record sessions. :^D
I honestly don't hear a difference... Is this really worth $200 for a tad bit of clarity in sound?
I think it's iGig!! very nice case!!
it was this guy that recorded the basses for the 2 first games of guitar hero, wasnt he?
nope. there are probably just as many white guys (if not more, these days) that play slap. get over it.
MXRs pedals are awesome !
Why do some MXR pedals have holes near their pots?
PS- Respect MUST be given to those who have put in their 10,000 hours of service.
Solid bass player here!
(BTW) have you listened to his tracks? They truly speak for themselves!
"how stereotipical is that a black guy is playing slap bass" @Metallin Now a days, it's about as typical as white guy playing bass with funk band ; or as typical as some uneducated half wit claiming to be a musician who can't spell the word typical ....short answer is: Not so typical, but that's just my two cents.
