Now I dont know why ppl like the vintage CS-1. Way too shishy, the attack is just gone and the tone sounds unnatural in a very unpleasant way. The CS-2 was a massive improvement. CS-2 best for mid rangy comp, CP-1x for clean comp. Great vid
Great comparison! cp1x is the cleaner, is in the same ballpark with cp2 and cp3, cp1 sound more squisher and funkier, has little bit more character to my ears.
cp1x is the worst! You can make nothing with cp1x sound during mixing session! Just look at the gloomy bottom end of cp1x. I guess your never record any song.
@@ivan_7402 In a professional mixing session you don't use pedal compressors you use studio/rack compressors and/or their plugin versions. A cheap one costs like 20 times the money the CP-1X does. Pedal compressors are not for the studio at least at this price range. If you look at the workflow of e.g. gilmour who compressed some tracks a lot, for heavily compressed tracks like in another brick in the wall solo, he would record the guitar directly on the mixing desk, compress this mickey mouse sound further with studio compressors and then re-amp it with a loud mesa boogie to overdrive (and thus compress further). Separating tracks with pedal compressors in the studio is not a valid workflow for professional results, perhaps only with specific expensive pedals like the empress MKII compressor but you would need like 3 of them to get the job done.
