    Use before or after an Amp Simulator? Going straight to a mixer board. Thx

  2. Daniel Estrellado on August 29, 2020 at 9:19 pm

    this, joyo pipe bomb, or mooer yellow comp??

  3. Jim on August 29, 2020 at 9:19 pm

    Irre ich mich oder ist der NUT breiter als sonst in Electric guitars.

    i would like to have a big nut. 2 inch around. for my huge hands.. are there fretboards with big nuts on market ?

  4. Will Myers on August 29, 2020 at 9:19 pm

    very helpful, thank you!!

  5. Rogerio Sartori on August 29, 2020 at 9:20 pm

    Best review ever!

  6. Vile Inscription on August 29, 2020 at 9:21 pm

    Hooray! Someone finally explained compressors in a way that makes perfect sense!

  7. supergoat on August 29, 2020 at 9:23 pm

    Thank you for the in depth review of this pedal. I’ve had one for months and while I was able to set it up to do what I wanted, I never really understood how to do it properly. This was a massive help. Easily the best video I’ve ever watched concerning a compressor pedal, even better that it covers the exact one I have.

  8. Josh Rosenberg on August 29, 2020 at 9:24 pm

    In America they did all there trading wearing buck skin loin cloths, whereas in Europa they actually wore live squids to cover their bits, hence the term ‘quid’

  9. Samuel duvosin schmidt on August 29, 2020 at 9:25 pm

    seems a nOice choice for the bargain…but i was wondering if the boss cs3 is a better bang for the buck…given it has tone control (for some darker sounds).
    has anyone got any suggestions?which one can give more compression on max?

  10. allrain on August 29, 2020 at 9:26 pm

    After seeing this review i went out and bought this compressor. It does exactly what i was looking for, highlighted in this video: it is a transparent compressor. TC, go and buy this dude a lunch!

  11. Rodolfo Rodolfo on August 29, 2020 at 9:28 pm

    so how do I connect my compressor to my mixer? in or out?

  12. orzon reynolds on August 29, 2020 at 9:28 pm

    model of that guitar? some website where i can find theme?

  13. Marly Cruse on August 29, 2020 at 9:29 pm

    1:55 … watching Friends I see… perhaps this instalment should have been called "The one with the compressor" …

  14. christiaan klanderman on August 29, 2020 at 9:30 pm

    Thanx for the info, very usefull. Also thanx for the review of the Harley Benton goldtop p90. The thing had some issues, but supprises me Evert time!

  15. cacadillac on August 29, 2020 at 9:31 pm

    Please Henning make a vid of a pedalboard only composed by those TC pedals to know how it would sound! You know, for no reason but fun 🙂 thank you for your cool vids!

  16. Stella Blue on August 29, 2020 at 9:31 pm

    That guitar is absolutely gorgeous dude!

  17. RoninR on August 29, 2020 at 9:31 pm

    thanks henning because of you i bought this!

  18. Karol Kucharski on August 29, 2020 at 9:32 pm

    How long does it last on batteries?

  19. Mi Si on August 29, 2020 at 9:34 pm

    Can I have some of your drugs thanks

  20. GibsonLesPaul2273 on August 29, 2020 at 9:34 pm

    I wonder what is sounds like with everything on full.

  21. Luis Sanchez on August 29, 2020 at 9:37 pm

    We are hunting here too fuckers

  22. Tom Jeffrey Macalisang on August 29, 2020 at 9:38 pm

    Force field vs. joyo pipe bomb?

  23. duhashiv on August 29, 2020 at 9:41 pm

    As a wise man once said – loud is more good

  24. Juanma Blanc on August 29, 2020 at 9:42 pm

    Always watching friends 😛 love your videos men!

  25. Steve on August 29, 2020 at 9:43 pm

    I like a compressor that is not transparent. Some compressors are almost transparent, while others, like the Boss CS-1 and CS-2 are very blatant. I love those early Boss compressors!

  26. Grilled Spaghetti on August 29, 2020 at 9:43 pm

    Love how, even with the attack all down it didn’t take away the Color of the sound.

  27. Jim on August 29, 2020 at 9:45 pm

    About Power supply. there are barely no reviews about this. Is this true that it is better to have one PS for each of the pedals ??? what are cheap but good pS to Buy online ?? Thank you for answer..

  28. Jim on August 29, 2020 at 9:45 pm

    also Behringer pedals are wonderful

  29. JOE BALLS on August 29, 2020 at 9:45 pm

    THANKS! GOOD VIDEO!

  30. Joe Sasser on August 29, 2020 at 9:46 pm

    That bridge pickup looks more like a RIC high gain pup, like in my RIC 330. Sounds great!

  31. BCK on August 29, 2020 at 9:48 pm

    For 50 illegal whale bones, this is worth it!

  32. Nathan White on August 29, 2020 at 9:49 pm

    Good review, as always! Just wanted to know which is the better compressor? This, the Mooer Yellow Comp or the Joyo Pipebomb? Thanks!

  33. Jamie Kitson on August 29, 2020 at 9:52 pm

    Fabulous review – many thanks.

  34. geova dos santos Santos on August 29, 2020 at 9:54 pm

    Não falo Inglês: mas quero perguntar em português, que guitarra é essa?

  35. Robby Suter on August 29, 2020 at 9:56 pm

    "most people don’t know what a compressor pedal is" ….Really ? Where did he get that idea from ??

  36. Jowel Moises Ubaña on August 29, 2020 at 9:57 pm

    is it all over?( all 13 tc pedals). oh man, this has been a morning ritual for me.

  37. Chirn70 on August 29, 2020 at 9:58 pm

    Do you have matching pants for other guitars? 😉

  38. Titus on August 29, 2020 at 10:00 pm

    Whats your opinion on the Hall of fame since i see you have it

  39. Bruno Condor on August 29, 2020 at 10:01 pm

    Hi Henning.. wie geht es dir? I know this is a vid from 2016, and you probably won’t read this BUT.. is the Mooer yellow comp still you’re favourite compressor ? And what would happen if you combine these on a pedalboard ? Some weird stuff or could that sounds actually good ? Grüße aus Gent Belgien.

  40. Hades Eye on August 29, 2020 at 10:02 pm

    The question is: This one or Joyo’s Dynamic compressor?
    PS. 8:51 I wonder how that scratching would sound through compressor.

  41. Chance Glasford on August 29, 2020 at 10:02 pm

    How does this pedal compare to a Boss CS-3? I will be using it to fatten up and had sustain for slide play.

  42. BD Guitar on August 29, 2020 at 10:03 pm

    Easter Eggs?
    11:53 Ross and Chandler on the tele and the Little Pink Unicorn 😀

  43. Martin Krauser on August 29, 2020 at 10:08 pm

    That’s some nice editing around 12:00.

  44. Joshua Fraser on August 29, 2020 at 10:08 pm

    What is that slick SG in the background with the gold hardware?

  45. Jim on August 29, 2020 at 10:11 pm

    TC pedals are amazing god. i watched several yesterday. each and every pedal is amazing .

  46. Warp Zelle on August 29, 2020 at 10:12 pm

    Viele hassen dich. Aber ich mag dich

  47. x 艾Hooligan艾 x on August 29, 2020 at 10:13 pm

    Thank you for taking the time to cover and explain this series. Really appreciate the in-depth explanations and effort you put into this.

  48. Darrell Brock on August 29, 2020 at 10:16 pm

    This sounds like one of the most do nothing pedals I’ve ever heard. Still a good video, it just convinced me not to buy.

  49. Zachary B on August 29, 2020 at 10:16 pm

    Whats it do

  50. christiaan klanderman on August 29, 2020 at 10:17 pm
