Compressor is the secret sauce on your cleans. Even works on edge of breakup. Years of playing country finally convinced me of this. It is a very hard pedal to learn but well worth the effort.

The Keeley 4 knob has been a staple on my board for years, I won't play without it. This little 2 knob sounds amazingly good.

[WalrusDoom]

Honestly I feel Rabea’s true voice is with a Strat.

[davids]

Fair play for advising this is a sponsored review - not enough You Tubers do this. Excellent review and full explanation of the mysteries of compression!

[franknskeen]

Keeley became famous with his compressors, and never failed to deliver.
I have the Keeley Compressor Pro and it's ALWAYS ON.
The best compressors: Keeley compressors. PERIOD!

[Stratomacaster]

Never really thought much about compression until I bought my Keely GC-2. Night and day difference.

[MichaelSorrentino]

I've got a Keeley pedal that I use quite frequently. A compressor was definitely a game-changer when it came to ease of playing and recording!

[jdiesel]

Hey Rabea, thanks for the lesson! I've been using compressor for decades and love the sound but you taught me new things! And, I'm in the market for a Keeley Comp, so you sold me on the mini!

[BuildYourOwnBass]

Exactly the vid I was searching for, examples of compression in front of a few different gain settings with the same guitar and player. Thanks for ripping Rabea🤘

[Chris_Nouvelli]

The strat’s spirit animal is Rabea. So good.

[MisterRorschach]

That Strat right there, the first time I saw you playing it, changed my entire opinion on gold pickguards. Oh what id give for a troposphere custom shop sunburst strat with a gold pickguard.

[markconger]

So much great wisdom in this video. I’m not a musician but I immensely love watching these gear reviews.

[joseph_lacy]

Your first Keely compressor+ video is how I found out about you! Cool that we came full circle :)

[mikmiklicayan]

Ive always had my compressor as first in the chain. Now i gotta try it after my drive pedals thanks!

[thekramer]

I can't live without compression on my clean sounds. It just gives them spice

[paulvandergriff]

Was just questioning if I should get a compressor
Perfect timing
Thank you my good man

[charliemckeever]

I love the compression pedal I use it all 99% of the time on my board with a ta delay rabea 👍👏👏

[DrRONYmusic]

great video! quick question, I ve been using a XOTIC SP compressor but I find it very noisy. How s the Keeley mini in terms of noise? thanks Rabea!

[adylp]

I use my Keeley Compressor plus as an always on effect for blues/rock. Before overdrive with the volume quite high to push the drive pedal. Compression and blend quite low. Not sure if I’m using it right but it sounds good to me!

[imalinesman]

I've been eyeballing a new compressor. Thanks for the vid 🤘
