Keeley Compressor Mini Demo | First Look 

Well said 😎

Definitely

Hi, We know. John is a Wonderful Man. No question

He’s also 100x smarter. Was very surprised by his education and background.

I know right

Google him and prepare to be impressed.

I think John used to or still does run the music at the CMA's .He is a badass 😎 player for sure(might be CMT's)

I get the sense that John would be such a fun hang - I'm a huge fan!!

@@dwaynejessome1728 he's the coolest hang! I'm a huge fan too!

You are too kind. Thank you

Same with me. I was looking specifically at those but went with the Keely mini, mine gets here in 2 days. I think this mini is underrated and overlooked, so I figured I give it some attention. It was either this or the Xotic SP but my friends at church have the Keely Plus so I thought it would be interesting to get the mini so we can see the differences

1000%…

Me too.

It (mix/blend control) is really in there, we just set it for you with a ratio we've fell in love with. I think you're right, parallel blending is a wonderful thing.

Did he use Dynecomps? That’s great news if he did. I always assumed they meant he used 2 studio compressors.

@@jordandangelo180 yep live 2 studio 1plus one or two studio comps ,if he thought it needed more there was always a fix in the mix!

The Cordicidin is the one.

I've not tried one

@@johnbohlinger amazing playing John. I noticed you have a very quirky, angular and really dynamic style of playing. Who are your main influences and did you come up with that style on your own? Or is it an amalgamation of a bunch of different players because I’ve never heard anybody have that kind of spastic sliding everywhere while bending multiple strings. Did you try hard to come up with your own unique style or combine the best of what you liked from that favorite players? Thanks John 🙏🏼

@@jordandangelo180 Jordan, I've listen to a lot of music, play all the time, and try to enjoy the journey. Although I often disappoint myself and others, every now and then, it sounds like music and that keeps me chasing the dragon, Play on amigo.

Howdy Mark, I pleased to report we don't use crappy surface mounted components. And you don't have to throw away your pedals or your audio interfaces or your computers. We use the best sounding components and devices in our designs. We use surface mount parts just like Universal Audio, Strymon, Focusrite, Presonus, etc. Our service is the absolute best in the industry. Surface mount parts aren't harder to change, they're actually easier! My service department repairs units in 24 hours and gets them back to the player. Many times we don't even charge for the repair, we just consider it warranty work. You have the pedal back before you missed it too much. ;-) Surface mount doesn't mean crappy sound. If you chose the wrong ceramic caps in your design for the sake of profit, it will be obvious and have audio problems. The foot switches are still through-hole of course...so you replace it like any other switch. Is there a word for "the irrational fear of surface mount devices"? Smdhaphobia, Trypophobia maybe? The fear of small or micro sized things. #smdhaphobia

Definitely more difficult to pick up on as a spectator online as the audio is already being compressed on your phone/laptop. There’s a myriad of characteristics that highly compressed tones have…and a lot of compression has to do with how it feels and reacts to your pick attack also. Just have to try it out in person at your local shop like we used to do in the oldin’ days.

Don't get hooked on comp. Very hard to get off your pedal board. Mine has been always on for 25 years. Try a wampler with blend control.

If you haven't ever used one I suggest trying it. Try a something that doesn't color it much and try a Ross style like a Keeley or a DynaComp. It makes a pretty big difference in person and a big difference with how the amp feels to play through.

"Here's my base tone." He means unaffected signal, or the sound of his guitar without the compressor.
