Xotic Effects SP Compressor 

Thanks for tuning in! -Mike

Sometimes xotic sp could be misunderstood ! Despite It have just 3 buttons, inside there are 4 switches and it could be a little dificult to arrange all controls !! I had the same problem ! Last year i had a SP but sold it because i did not like it ! After i start to understand compressors and how to use it i bought a Mad Professor Forest Green ( fantastic compressor ) and i decide to give another chance to SP ! So, i tried so emulate Forest Green sound ( sustain and comp kind of sound ) , and after working with all these buttons i found that it could have the same great sound of Mad Professor !! So, the tip is : insise, leave all the 3 first switches down and the last up !! On the outside controls , forget the mid sustain option ! Use only the lo and hi options , and leave the blend knob at 11 o' clock . Using the low option you will have a beautiful clean enhance kind of sound to leave always on !! And when you need to have a more compressed soun for funk/ boost , use hi option!

I have SP and Cali76CD ( the best Compressor) The factory default SP settings is good but not the best ! It can be more transparent and better if you switch the second internal button to UP position and the third button to down position ( less atack and more highs ) It will become one of the best Compressors ever !

Wow! Once the playing started, I forgot to listen to the compressor.

Just watching you play, inspires me.

Finally a video where u can hear the influence of the compressor. Loving it!!

Holy shit, great playing and great tone!

i need this and i need it now, my guitar was needing this so hard

Mike...as always...awesome talent.

i'm watching all of your videos : you're truly awesome !

Awesome guitar playing waiting for my sp thanks

Perfect demo!

to anyone curious if this pedal is good for bass, it is great for bass! the blend knob allows you to retain a very strong low end while allowing a lot of extra sustain to shine through.

That Telecaster is spotless. So's your technique.

super flexible and sounds beautiful....... what a tiny killer compressor!!

Thanks! I really dig Allen Hind's playing -Mike

Thanks! Much appreciated! -Mike

Gosh! This company makes excellent demos. Killer players and detailed demonstrations. Watch at your own risk $ :-)

This is a really good compressor and I love Xotic pedals. My EP boost stays on all the time. Check out the new Pigtronix micro Philosopher's Tone demo Mike does, it is an optical circuit compressor w internal 18v power rails, utterly noiseless. Either one is a great compressor but given a choice go with the optical circuit.

Mike, you are simply a fantastic player. You could make a burlap sack of potatoes sound great.

xotic I love these effects!

You're right! Tiny, flexible and sounds killer

SOOOOOO SICK!!!

Hey thanks a lot! -Mike

Sweet playing ,the first tune reminds me of Allan Hinds

Fuck me - this is high quality!! Kudos!

"Next... on a very special episode Prymaxe Vintage..." When the BB makes a special appearance, was it placed before or after the SP?

Thanks! I wrote all the music -Mike

Fantastic stuff. Now, where can I buy your skills?

very nice !...

At the very least, I'm stealing your licks Mike!

I love your videos, can you please tell me which one is your favorite mini compressor between the Sp, Wampler Ego and the Lemon Yellow

clinical playing !

I didn't get a chance to try it with bass

jeesis that les paul sounds sweet.

Great pedal. First song is an original

Is this pop into the chemist?

That's it, I'm buying this. What song are you playing in the beginning?

Hi! do you use bb preamp before or after the compressor ?

Does this pedal is a good sustainer?

Hello, is it usefull for a bassguitar?

You said some comps don't work well with drive pedals, what do you mean by that? I have mine in the front of my chain, and in a true bypass looper, and for some reason when I pair it up with pedals, the amount of drive goes down so the way I fix it is by upping the volume, but then when I use it with no pedals it's really loud. Any fixes?

Anyone tried te Suhr compressors and compared them against SP?

Sounds great, but that may just be the player!! Dang! Any idea how it is with bass?

steve hackett-y stuff this time

I tell them that my setup is the mesa boogie head + an electric guitar with EMG 85 81 + tc electronic g major 2 (connected by the effect input: send / return) my idea is to have a more sustein sound and balance. .. I await your response, accept criticisms and comments (the genre in which it ventured classic heavy, hard rock, progressive heavy metal) by ROMEO

hello ... how are you ..? I tell them I bought the compressor sp Xotic is a great article ... I'm from Argentina, Buenos Aires ... these products from Xotic are hard to find in my country ... but making an effort to acquire money I could ... My idea is to use a head co Mesa Boogie Dual 2010, using distortion. Question: Do you think I can get more sustain and a round sound with little noise? Where do you think is best to connect the Xotic sp: guitar imput the head, or the effect input ...?

Are you sure you're not Oz Noy..?

Nasty jus nasty wooooo

those are really good songs what are their names???

What kind of porn is it at 0:57 to 1:36 ???? Anyone can tell me if this a Jazz song or an impro??? Great playing and demo!

Amazing playing and review... but 0:57 to 1:36 was just something else altogether...

After

That awkward moment when you realize ProGuitarShop DONT have the best gear reviews on RU-vid :-)

No thanks. I prefer natural volume dynamics - when it sounds like a human is actually playing. :)

Holy shit, great playing and great tone!
