Alsklaftsk123 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hi, i use the bluecomp compressor for solo boost. The problem is that it adds a slight cliping noise at the start at every note. Anyone know how i can prevent this? Is there a way to get a similar sound without using the blue comp? Cant get that boost with the tube comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushman2 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Single channel compressors have a tendency to choke the first hit on a string or chord, especially if the compression is turned up. Is that what you're hearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alsklaftsk123 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 YES. And how do i get rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyo78 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Not saying this is your cure-all but... 1. Put the Comp before the Amp module. 2. I only use the "Tube Comp" model and I really like it... but all the others are pretty lame. Hopefully that'll help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyo78 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Agreed... I've used the Vetta as a secondary in a few patches. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinDorr Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Just stumbled of those interesting posts ... Not saying this is your cure-all but... 1. Put the Comp before the Amp module.2. I only use the "Tube Comp" model and I really like it... but all the others are pretty lame. Hopefully that'll help. I have the same opinion..also the Vetta comp despite having only a fixed ratio (which is anyway the most commonly used) is not bad Can you share a few tube compressor settings and describe in a few words what you use it for (material, guitar, Amp, compress or compressand + change level)? I just posted earlier today some questions I ran into using the tube compressor. I like the sound but the model seems to behave a little 'unexpected', i.e., it adds gain at 0% Level for Thresholds starting at <70% (about 13dB at 0% Threshold) Thanks, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyo78 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Me too... 1. I rarely use it on "High Gain" but I will check to see if it's harmonic content adds anything nice. :P 2. I typically use the same settings as hurghanico with the Gain between 5-15, the Thresh @ 20-50%; rarely ever higher and mostly on clean amps.

Talenless Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 where do you put the tube compressor in the signal chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arislaf Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 In clean setting first thing in chain. For distorted, after the gate. For 2 amps, after the mixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
