Hey all

The only "effect" Im really having issues dialing in is the Compressor.

By way of background, before going digital, my go-to-real-comp was a Mooer Yellow Compressor - which as you probably know, is a "clone" of the clasic " Diamond Compressor".

Its very tranparent ... and could easly be used [almost] across the board all [most] clean and dirty tones.

By way of example .... please see here:-



and specifically go to bypass/active demos in the 3m 52s <-> 4m 47s section.

No matter what I do, I just cant get this "sound" ...... although given everything else the Axe can do, Im sure its "in there" but I need some assitance :)

Can anyone please assist with some Axe Compressor settings [ Studio or Pedal ] that respond like the 55s section in the above video demo ?

Thanks,
Ben
 
I usually set it up so that when I hit the loudest possible notes/chords it compresses between 3&6dB. 6 being on the heavy end of a lot. This way you get the sustain, evens things out, without killing dynamics and adding noise. And I prefer the studio compression.
 
Try the Pedal Comp1 with Attak 1.280, Release 19, auto off, Emphasis 8, Lookahead 0

It comes close, but I didn´t find a way to get the same thickness of my Diamond Comp.
Still impossible for me to get a real country twäng. What about a new comp Modell based on the Boss CS2 :)?
 
I think, it should be possible to model the Mooer - It does not sound that special.

I wish though that we would get some G3 compressors. I find that almost all the legendary compressors add a little bit of character and/or saturation to the sound
