Compressor shoot-out notes The talking ends and playing begins at 1:20 for those of you who want to hear the compressors right away. All of the units are connected with George Ls cables. The output of the Loop-Master is routed through the Rat (which is switched off some of the time) and then to the THD BiValve. Ive tried to make the audio quality of this video good enough so that you can hear the noisiness and frequency response of these these compressors. To that end, the audio was recorded with an Olympus LS-10 recorder, and then synced with the video in iMovie. Sorry about the airplane noise at the end, but I didnt have time to re-shoot as the supercomp was on loan and had to be returned. There are no loud sounds after 3:40 in the video so that you can turn up your monitor speakers and really hear the audio without getting blasted. The narration being mixed very low is done intentionally so that you can hear the different noise levels of the compressors. My impressions of the different compressors were: Strymon: Very high quality, and by far the least noisy. The processed sound of this compressor is the most similar to the original input signal, only louder and more controlled. You can notice at the end of the video that even when the output knob is maxed, the noise does not increase. If you want a compressor the you can leave on all of the time, this is the one. The boost feature is nice and useful, especially before the distortion pedal. BYOC 5 Knob Comp: This ...
