TC Electronic HyperGravity Compressor Pedal with TonePrint

Mitch Gallagher and Don Carr present the TC Electronic HyperGravity compressor pedal. The HyperGravity uses a highly advanced multiband dynamics algorithm from TC Electronic's System 6000, which has been a top dynamics tool for producers for over 10 years. Choose between three compression tones including the ultra-transparent Spectra setting, the classic tight squash Vintage setting, or a customized TonePrint.

Just thought I'd add, these two guys are pretty good at reviewing and explaining this device as well as others / reviews. They condense what could be a long learning curve into a concise amount of time with the luxury of being able to refer back if and when you have a setup question or idea. ... can't beat it.

Description of the attack is backwards More attack is not grabbing hold of the signal and compressing it right out of the gate, or clamping down on it 'more'. That would make it quieter during the attack part of the signal. 2:57 Increasing the attack just delays the onset of compression.

Perhaps the best explanation of how the tone prints works I've seen. A+!

Great video! Just unboxed this bad boy to add to my rig for acoustic gigs. Very excited to mess around with this pedal!

I love how objective Sweetwater is on their reviews. Really on point yet giving all the features.

[sbeattie]

Just got one of these and still figuring out what settings work best for me. This is a really helpful and informative demo. Thanks Don and Mitch!

[DennisCameronMusic]

What a thorough review, thanks Mitch great job. I laughed every time you said 'Nice' after he played a lick.

[capellaspot]

Very helpful review. Clear. Thank you for the thought and effort that went in to demonstrating this product.

[billblayney]

Excellent explanation of this pedals workings....just perfect...Makes we wanna try one.

Stellar review here from Sweetwater. I really like TC's products and use many of them. I need a great compressor and will purchase one of these based on TC's features and superior user friendly very useful and musical deep editing.

[Subtle-System]

Great demo. It does have tons of features, lacks the tube style compression tone, but it's like working with numerous different compressors.Definitely good bang for the buck, I was dissapointed with it, and people have hated me for posting my frustrations.Which the only thing is sound quality, other than that it is the best compressor out there in options and possibilities.But it's hard to get a good vintage sound, even on their vintage mode is too dark to be useable now a days, but I would get it for the possibilities alone. Definitely better than most comps out there.But not the number 1 in tone. But I would still get it if I was looking for a new kind of compressor with th added value that you can use an old school Ross compressor if you don't like the subtle.. But the key for great, great compression is in the editor, don't be shy about it. Even if you're not a computer person or whatever just try and move things randomly and you'll start to get the hang of it. The key is editor!

I'll be buying one after Christmas, it's crazy how many compressor pedals I have bought, hopefully this will be the one. I can buy one overdrive, echo, tremolo etc pedal and be satisfied, but with the compressor pedal, I keep looking for the right one.

[david_onbass]

Thanks for showing us how the editor works!

[ToddMcKernan]

Definitely gonna get one of these. This is a win for TC.

I’m sure on my HyperGravity Mini turning the Attack all the way anti-clockwise is where it clamps down quicker, yet in this video they seem to think fully clockwise is the quickest setting 😨

[twohornedpuppet]

oh baby, I finally found the missing link between my overdrive and my cab sim

[SakariKempas]

Some Tri-Chorus and Reverb to that last bit before the end of the video and it'd be really amazing! I can't help it, I really love Tri-Chorus.

[braddietzmusic]

At first I thought why have a tone print on a compressor (i.e.- how many more modeled comp effects and parameter knobs do you really need?) but this seems like a very sharp product with true usefulness. Lots to demo here, but great info. Very impressed all around. I'll consider one of these now. I have a Boss unit. Might be time for an upgrade. I agree: that blend knob is really essential. Thanks.

TC is Quality... Carr is the man at Sweetwater...
