thank you this is exactly what I needed lol
I love how you played it clean before hitting every pedal to give us a point of reference. Great review and comparison!
Love the review man. Too often reviews are focused on way too much detail of components in a pedal when I just want to learn what it does differently and how that’s going to effect my music. A+!!!
thanks man one of the best and most concise compressor demos i've seen
Seth I love your videos! So few people want to say what they like since most are too worried to offend. You lay it out for us viewers. I find what you say to be honest and trustworthy. Keep up the great work!!!!
Nice demo of all 3 mini comps, great job!!
Great demo my friend, just what ive been looking for. Thanks
Loved the vid man! keep em coming! thanks
Nice demo video. But you didn't mention that the Xotic SP has some more setting options inside. These are definitely worth exploring, and you should take your time to set these tiny DIP switches according to your preferences.
Thanks for this clear explanation, very good vibe bro, thanks.
Great demo thank you 😊
Great vid, thanks!
Nice shootout. I'm still trying to decide if I need a compressor or not. I do like the MXR, mainly because it was the simplest of the 3. I liked that it doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles.
thanks man this helped me make my purchase
Don’t like ego’s price ☺️. Thanks for the demo 👍🏼
Do you have to turn it on and off in between using the clean and dirty channel of the amp? In other words is it too much compression to use the same setting for the dirty sound?
Beautiful review!!
That amp sounds damn good! peeking my interest in that company with this video.
Great video mate👍🏻👍🏻
Dude You Seem Like A Really Nice Guy!! You make me feel like going to your Store haha 😆!!! 🎸🎶🔥🔥
AWESOME THANKS
Which one would be best suited for fingerpicking on a Jazzmaster? Don’t want to impact tone too much, just fatten it up, improve volume consistency, and have a bit more attack.
Concerned about noise issues and changing the tone drastically.
after this video I'm buying the MXR sounds sick!
I bought the MXR; I've had it 2 days only. But so far I'm not impressed; may return it. I still have to test it more.
Please make a new video which includes the Tc electronic Hypergravity mini. It would be really great to see a shootout between most of the mini compressors.
working on it
I think you did a great job and thank you . I’ve only recently got into compressor pedals and have a few now, well 6 currently lol but I have and like the Mxr mini a lot. Guess it just suits me. Just picked up a fender the bends but have yet to try it out. Keep up the great work! 👍 Btw, that Strat sounds absolutely amazing!
Also subbed
Cheers! 👍🎸
in my (extremely limited) experience with compressors, where they really shine and you can really hear them work is when you play any kind of fingerstyle run. I have to admit I do love a good compressor.
Bingo! I really don't know how anyone can sound good with clean finger style. Maybe turning quite hi the volume , amp going a bit compressed and without too much dynamic peaks? I don't known ..
Very useful review!
What compressor would you recommend that doesn’t squish I just want to play arpeggios without changing my sound but has to have a blend knob
Great guitar, sounds immense.
Prob the #1 application is getting a small tube amp to feel and play like it would at high volume.Big thing, considering even smaller venues are mixing lower signals into PA's, these days.
Good trick is running the comp post drive or boost, and adjusting the mix knob to taste; that's where the mix is going to really shine, including if you're one of those who uses other modulations pre drive.
The Cali76 has set a new standard by stacking 2 comps, a trick long employed by session/ studio musicians.You can get much the same by using two mini's , even add flavour by varying the circuit type.(Use to see guys stacking Boss CS3's, years ago).Simple or advanced as you need it.
Peace.
Thanks Good info.
Super useful. Thanks.
You do a great job, Seth!
Love that guitar. I think I prefer the Wampler
thanks
I have the Wampler. I can not play without it
Great demo. You're awesome. Even though you're making me 'need' to spend more than i wanted... thanks.
Man, I liked the way you approach this video! Very good vibe. You have earned yourself a subscriber.
Great video bro.
Thx for doing this vid, nice job!
Nice video. 👍
参考になりました！ ありがとうございます
Excellent demo, thank you!
2:35 Clean *

6:15 Wampler *
8:04 Xotix Sp - Low *
7:32 Xotix Sp - Med
Hate the Xotic ... don't mind the other 2 - mxr more traditional; wampler more clarity (clean blend, so obviously).
@@kierenmoore3236 i have the Wampler mini ego compressor. The best from the west
I like ( as impression ,while watching this video) ,the " S P" ,but i don't know if they are available in italian stores; as second choice i would go for the Wampler
Cool video -- it would be great to see you explore the DIP switches inside the Xotic sometime
will try to do
which is the most silent?
Hi, thanks for the video, really helpful. Now I can't make my mind, between the Xotic SP and the mini Wampler, personally which one would you put in your pedalboard?
He said in the video he uses the SP xotic
I must have 30 pedals but not a compressor. It seems like more of a feel pedal first and a tone altering pedal second. RUclips does not do compressor's any favor's either in attempting to distinguish between a good and a great compressor. These three seem like cant lose compressors though, based on other pedals from these great brands. Nice video.
Holy crap the bridge pickup on that Nash sounds immense.
Lindy Fralin pickups
I Never knew it was a compressor I was hearing on all those records...Squeezing the signal kind of Brightens it and makes (especially position 4) a strat just sound unbelievably Nice... Im a Classic rock kinda guy.. So naturally I do gravitate to the squishier MXR pedal... It will if you push it give you grit... But its also very noisy. that Wampler pedal made me go HMMMM.
SP is less squished/transparent sounding. I like it the best. Does it also add sustain? Or just compresses?
Update: I bough the SP and returned it. Sounded great but I just didn’t like the compression effect
Does the MXR mini sound the same as a normal dyna comp?
I can't find any comparisons online and hope someone here could answer it.
I use the dyna comp at 80% sensitivity so i get a lot of white noise but the reduction of noise floor on the mini one sounds like a dream.
CAN THE WAMPLER REPLICATE THE MXR SOUND????
Nice one!! Thanks!!
Hey, how is the noise level for the Mxr. The bigger version is kind of noisy, is it better?
not as bad as the orignal
Nice for folks who are new to compression...for my unabashed demo...XOTIC SP SUSTAINER (UNABASHED DEMO) (chazmology)
Wampler is great, tone and price....
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone dwarf a strat like this.
Anyway; wanted to thank you for a great video. Helped me to make a decision between the EGO and the XP. Keep up the great work !
curoious, which one did you end up deciding on?
@@bobbymehta1006 xotic. Don’t regret it
More noise on the SP. I prefer the 1st 2 and own the larger Wampler, which is an always on pedal.
I still like Dynacomp more. Not know for transparent, but the others two sounds really squashed and attack switch on dynacomp helps to get transparent compression.
I also heard a higher noise floor when engaged on the other two. The Dynacomp seemed much quieter.
@@GeneOh if it helps the SP on “low” has no noise like 0, medium and high do however add noise.
Hey, cool video. How were the dip switches in the SP Xotic compressor?
I heard an Andrian Belew album back in 1992 and I loved his sound and read he used a comp all the time so I bought a Boss CS-3 which was on my board, always on for 23 years, then I used a Yamaha CO10MII for a bit then I used a Boss CS-2 and I didn’t really get along with that and now I’m using a Boss CS-1. I’d like to try an MXR Dyna Comp but I see the Mini has an attack function also. Which is better?
i like the mini better than the old one
I like the MXR over the CS1, but I also like the Ego over the MXR.
Wish many would do reviews like this instead of over selling and talking.
I like the sound of the SP but, from what I am seeing , is it NOT AC powered ?, 9V battery is not conducive to a board , Does SP make an AC powered version ? In some of the compressor videos I have watched the SP sounded the best ,but the turnoff is the 9V power .
👍🏿🤘
I guess I'm in the camp that isn't convinced a compressor is needed. Maybe in a recording environment when you need a guitar riff someplace that blends well with the mix. But to me, the compressor removes your guitar's and your own playing personality/dynamics. Plus if you wanted your sound to be toned down, squeezed, etc., couldn't you adjust your playing technique and mess with your guitar's tone and volume controls in order to have the same effect as a compressor?
A compressor doesn't remove personality unless you get weird with it, and most people don't. You can still hear everything just fine and incorporate tons of dynamics. Compressors make things sound more consistent, richer, and smoother when used right. They not only make your playing sound better, they make your guitar sound more expensive and can help all your other fx sound much better by sending them a cleaned up/better sounding waveform to work with. They quiet down the loudest bits of the signal and boost up the quietest bits, giving things a more consistent volume. This doesn't mean a constant volume, just one with variation limited on the radical ends of the spectrum. The boosting of quieter sounds also gives the illusion of more sustain.
So... no, compressors do things to the sound that guitar knobs won't do, so you can't replicate compression without a compressor or some sort of electric equipment which causes compression naturally, like cranking certain amps or using certain drive fx.
Great demonstration. Theyre all quite usefull !
Alvas Music think I'll get the MXR, my neighbour already has the xotic sp, it had a faulty switch but they repaired it for free.
Shit that rhymes.
Nevertheless since I can use his I gotta get Something different.
nice revlew. check ouy Keeley new mini compressors
Cool stuff, thanks for sharing this. I can hear you hitting your strings with your pick hand-probably has something to do with your proximity to the microphone?-anyways, even with headphones on, there’s no substitute for a little bit more volume...from YOUR amplifier. Nice funk improv, I get the impression that a Compressor, or several, must be an integral component for playing this style.
i subscribed your channel. well done. love it
Stuff like that...
Custom Comp imo
Great playing! If you want to hear more compressed sounds, please check out this play-through of the Wampler Mini Ego: ruclips.net/video/zEtQ630Xdb4/видео.html - what a great pedal!! Cheers!
You forgot the mirage pico compressor! Kills all these
Damn that's a sick ass lego guitar!
shredded as fuck forearms
I did notice a lot of noise as soon as the exotic was turned on
Differences?
MXR dosen't have a dry blend, which you need if you run it after drives.It is also not True Bypass.The
SP, like all Xotic effects, uses superior components, and has a distinct and specific , nicely EQed tonality.The fact that it is arranged more simply isn't necessarily a bad thing for a compressor.More "set & forget".
The Wampler is both TB and has the dry blend; it also offers a broad exterior tweaking option, and will "colour" sound the least; it is pretty utilitarian for a mini.
Compression can be a vital tool if you learn how to use it; personally, I run a full function unit before drives, and a mini after.Haven't used the MXR in 20 years, but the Xotic is great, and I think the Ego is one of Wampler's best pedals.You do , often, get what you pay for with effects, especially when you're not dealing with limited run boutiques, or rare components.
Indeed. A compressor without a blend is of no interest to me. The wampler is great, but Xotic all the way for me. I just wish the dip switches were on the outside, as they are quite useful; changing them up makes real differences and unscrewing isn’t practical, if you want to take advantage of them live
I agree, blend is really important, I had a couple years using only parallel compression on anything at any stage. Just to me MXR has nothing to ask on component quality or sound from other brands. I suppose MXR is used by many artists because they are reliable, good voiced (eq'ed) and aren't noisy.
I got tired of myself justifying high prices based on "features-that-I-think-I-will-use" trap. So, been tried the Dynacomp Mini (attack switch is important for relative transparency) I just bought it, at looks cool with MXR Sugar Drive mini aside.

kinda hard to compare sounds when you talk so long between pedals
Where can I find a strap thaaaat long???
I just lost 15lbs on John Roses solid food vacation , juicing only , was a wonderful experience. Great explanation of pedals thanks , hope you try juicing .
5000:1 talking to playing ratio.
I see what you did there.
Americans for ya
WAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too much TALKING !!!!
Compressor should be used not only for sounds. Sometimes you need to compress big things to slim down
To much talking
