The pedal is great, but the tune and playing is just beautiful. Pete, you are an inspiration. Thanks for being so good. cheers
Killer playing as usual Pete and great pedal. :)
Thanks so much Justin! :)
So very grateful Mr. Thorn! Fantastic sir, really incredible.
State of the art musical and production expertise and artistry ... I look forward to every video.
That was just about my favorite of all the demo songs you've done. Beautiful. The pedal sounds amazing, too.
I think it might be my favorite! I'm really happy with the way it came out. The pedal is a WINNER, just outstanding.
You are the most musical player I've listened to in a long time. I could just chill to your tasty grooves for hours. Most excellent, man.
Thanks so much!
Not many people can really demonstrate the effectiveness and subtle tonality differences of using compression with a pedal (especially through a processed youtube video), but you absolutely nailed it. Killer playing.
Thanks man!
Pete, your playing not only shows how talented you are but it makes the most of the gear you are using. Wonderful to just listen to you play!
such beautiful, tasteful playing. while your gear is top notch, the real magic is your tremendous musicality.
If You made an album of all of these beautiful songettes,
I would would so buy it, and it would make my car go slightly faster.
:)
Good call on this compressor!!! I got mine today and it sounds unreal. More transparent than any clean boost or comp I've owned. It's a "Always On" pedal for sure. Also, it seems to get along with everything so far. Even the Vibe didn't mind it. Fuzz will hate it though.
Again, I'm floored at how absolutely pure the sound is!!!
I come back to this video so often, just love the demo tune. So much air, such great tones and playing. This song should be released! Can only imagine how good it would sound in full range!
These reviews are so awesome... So nice to see all different sounds on one song, especially on such a great original.
Lee Harram thanks Lee!
Definitely my favorite guitarist. Pete, your style and musicianship is awesome.
Thanks man!
Love the intro tune. Great tones as always Pete!
Pete your playing is very inspiring, really enjoyed the solo with the classic S. Great review, awesome compressor, I have the older two knob Keeley and love it ever since I got it a decade ago. Thanks!!
Riff @ 7min 33sec gets me every time! Just the feel and the tone of it, that white Suhr! Awesome. Pete, I'm echoing my fellow youtube gear heads here and will say I look forward with semi-Christmas-morning anticipation to every new gear demo you do my friend! Really great stuff.
keeley electronics and Pete Thorn's playing. It doesn't get better than that!!!
Easily one of the nicest pure clean sounds I've heard. If I was stuck to just one sound to play through it would be that.
Hi Pete . Thanks for posting this . I bought this pedal and I'm really digging it . You probably saved me a bunch of cash by helping me choose the right one . Just thought you should know how much your advice helped me out . Thanks again and I hope you keep making videos like this .
another great video by a true master!
I rarely give a second look to new compressors because I'm happy with my tone press, but you've made me want this one.
That opening tune was jaw-droppingly beautiful.
Compressor are uncharted waters to the average player that do not understand the function but are a sweet addition to any fine tone junkies sound. Mine is always on sparingly and blended 50/50 wet/dry. The guys in my band cannot even tell its on but I can in spades just by feel.
Great review as always Mr Thorn.
That intro demo is so beautiful. Love the lick at 1.24. Amazing vid Pete
A compressor is the most difficult pedal to demo, but you did a great job here. Keeley is top shelf. Thanks for the video.
Pete you have the best reviews on TH-cam, love it.
Fills the sound of each chord completely very sweet
Thanks pete
The best compression demo I have ever heard ! Awesomely appropriate playing for the tests ! kudos
rhykko77 Thanks!
Love it Pete. You come across as a really nice humble guy too which makes your reviews even better to watch and listen. "Luxurious" Awesome!
I use this on bass. It’s an “always on” pedal for me. Good comps for bass are pricey. This is a good value, especially if you can pick one up used.
I loved the finger picking on the classis-S. Wonderful demo again, Pete. Thanx.
This is awesome. I have a 1980 Dyna Comp, but I think I want this for transparent and versatile compression. I've listened to the track several times today...that downtuned Tele tone is too good!
Pete - would love to see you do a demo of the Jan Ray! Actually just picked one up myself and am in love with it. Dying to hear more of what it sounds like in your hands.
I should really do that! I kind of owe it to them. I love the Jan Ray
great demo - confirmed what A. from the shop said . . . use the threshold during compression as well as at the end for compression and limiting. thanks! agreed - a very clean or transparent compressor - i never thought i'd like a compressor having only tried one once before; now, i dig it all the time.
and the pedal looks great too! ha!!!
Pete, that thing sounds incredible! Amazing playing as usual!
Pete, your melodies are from Heaven!! Human's alone just aren't that gifted:)
You're too kind. Thanks!
I watch all your videos, Pete, and this my favorite. You're getting so good at demo vids, it's unreal. How could anyone not buy this pedal after that?
Hey Pete Thorn that is a phenomenal demo - totally awesome!
Completely forgot I was watching a review/demo video for the first two minutes! Incredible playing!
Thank you Evan!
That white Suhr S-style is such a beautiful guitar!
Man, you got a beautiful collection of primo gear and you can play too. Very convincing demo, thanks.
Very nice demo Pete!
Love your playing Pete! The white strat sounds amazing! Gr. Frank
Wow, beautiful opening tune and great demo.
That solo with your Suhr Strat was awesome ! Great review as always !
Thanks Eric!
Clear, concise review! Thanks.
Yo Pete ....! I've given myself a Keeley GC2 for christmas ho ho ho :-) It's a really nice pedal and is the finishing touch on my pedaltrain. Have a nice X-mass and thanx for all the videos you've made this year and especially this one!
You always do Great Videos Pete!! Good job!
Hi Pete. Amazing again And again. Cheers from Brazil.
Awesome playing Pete!! Great demo
this pedal sounds awesome, it's much better than the old grey keeley compressor, I've been looking for a decent one for years now, this could be it...oh and amazing playing as usual!
Best gear demo man on Earth!
Great video as usual Pete! Like many others I always love the tunes you create. I've owned a two knob Keeley comp, but it sure seems this a great new pedal from Keeley that needs to be on my board. Please keep the videos coming!
This is my ‘save my ass pedal’. Smooths recordings and safeguards from any accidentally bumped up volume knobs live. I’ve come to learn…the best pedals are the ones you miss when they’re gone.
One Tip- It will cut some harmonics at unity. Just bump up the gain and they return.
Ok just went to Amazon and ordered up his album!
Thanks for this demo to know how works a compressor pedal.
nice tune and yes, you made the strat sound heavenly. killer.
Wow Pete, sounds amazing!
Great Demo Pete....
Pete Thorn, you could plug your guitar into a potato and it would turn into a mermaid! Thanks for all the inspirational videos.
onceupona1 Thanks so much! :)
Sounds great but Pete.... your playing is unreal!
Thanks Max!
I cam for the product review. I stayed for the awesome playing and tune.
Where do you place this on your board, before or after dirt? Would after dirt work best for this since it's a limiter? I'm not after a super squishy sound, but just to add that extra lushness for cleans and low ODs. Also might work well for controlling overall volume of drive pedals, with a boost after?
Thanks man! Adding one to my rig
Thanks Pete!
This guy makes me want to play leads again.
Sweet demo Pete! Love the sound from that compressor. Maybe we'll get song like that tidbit on the next album now that the mellow create juices are flowing! :)
Ya, maybe I'll use this idea and turn it into a full fledged song...
Great demo and lovely tune...don't forget this one when doing your next album :)
Holy Crap this is SUHWEEET!!! I got here via the Keeley page but Holy Crap that is some tasty playing.
Great video Pete.
Loooove your playing.
And the GC2 does sound awesome.
Thanks man!
My kinda tones Pete..great demo!
That white Strat is killing me!
Very nice Pete.....Great sound...Excellent playing.....too...😆
Interesting! Nice sustain and harmonics. I was trying something slightly similar with SP Compressor.
what a great piece of music!!!!!
The most impressive part is the lack of noise. As you know, bringing up the output gain also tends to bring up the noise floor even when not playing. Did you ever get an issue with too much of the noise floor when turning up the output gain?
really nice tune Pete
I like Oetes softer side, great composition.
Damn Pete...Damn Man...THAT Playng.....
dammit pete! everything you play I feel like I need!
this one you really do :) it's just awesome
That could be a great song for a TV show theme IMHO
excellent review. thanks!
never wanted a compressor before but Pete you did it again to the dismay of my wallet
vibrato6 :)
Pedal sounds great...but i still love dat Wampler EGO doe...
Amazing review aside, the intro track you played was completely fantastic...
Thanks Eric!
One of my favorite Pete Thorn reviews, great tune and playing! I was wondering if this pedal would be beneficial in front of a Helix or possibly in one of the loops.
Hey Pete! Big fan of all your stuff! I've currently got a strymon OB-1. This video caught my eye as I've been looking for an extremely transparent compressor that won't do any noticeable limiting but increase sustain. The OB-1 is ok, however it tends to "round" out my tone a bit too much. I liked the glassy sounding-ness of the GC-2 in your vid. Would you recommend the GC-2 or something slightly different? Thoughts?
Hi Pete, where do you put it on your pedalboard? Do you mainly use it as a compressor (at the beginning of the chain) or more at the end of the chain as a limiter? By the way, keep up the good work, your videos are always awesome!! :D
Very nice. But I could have done with a lot less reverb... it makes it difficult to tell what the compressor is doing vs. what the reverb is doing, in terms of perceived sustain.
Super helpful video. Thank you so much! How do you think this would work on Jazz Guitar? I currently use a Fender Telecaster with a Charlie Christian pickup in the neck, followed by an MXR delay into a Rivera Quiana 35/17 watt amp, set in "vintage" mode.
Hey Pete, the GC-2 is advertised as being for electric and acoustic guitar. I'm a fingerstyle acoustic guitar player integrating percussive and harmonic elements into my playing. I find that the percussion and harmonics components can vary dramatically with regard to attack/volume. Would this pedal help even things out for me? Would you recommend this pedal for acoustic guitar? Can you provide a review of this pedal being applied to acoustic guitar? Thanks in advance for your attention. Your professional analysis and opinion mean a lot to me.
Does the Compression knob act as a "Blend Knob"? Hard to find compressors with blend knobs to use with gain.
It makes even You Tube sound good!
Love this demo Pete, as usual... lol
Just wondering if you've used this with the AXE FX II yet, and if so, what is the best way to make the connections?
I have the AXE unit and actually, just bought this pedal because of this demo... Hope to hear your thoughts!
Keep up the great informational vids and the kick ass tunes man!
Al
5:05 "Luxurious" is right.
7:30 "Will even out changes between pickups.."
Hey, Pete, how you doing? I hear that Keeley Bassist as well as this GC-2 serve both on guitar and bass. Is that right? I don't hide GC-2 in my region to sell, just Bassist. So I was wondering if the information was accurate. Always Grateful!
I enjoy all of your demos, but I think one might be my favorite!
What do you use to program your drums?
how would you compare it to the keely compressor pro that you also did a review on? I have a pedal baby head, and I'm hoping to get a tube like reaction from it?
