Strymon OB.1 Compressor & Clean Boost Demo

[guizildobh]

is the output knob to control the boost?

[areed67]

@Passenger95 Have you had a Tone Press? Wondering if it's worth my while to sell the TP and try out the OB-1.

[Passenger95]

@areed67 It might be. This is a great pedal, although the Tone Press is decent too.

[CubbieBlue024]

OB1 Compressor, you're my only hope.

@Passenger95 What amp are you using for this demo?

[BillyTwanger]

Hi, a question, have you compared to the Okko Coca Comp? Or do you know that pedal just to make a comparison? Thanks a lot.

[Passenger95]

@BillyTwanger No, I'm sorry I've never played that pedal. Wish I could've helped, though. Cheers!

[BillyTwanger]

@Passenger95 thanks !

[fendertwin777]

@BillyTwanger I was also considering either the effectrode optical or the okko coco, but this is an interesting canidate. not really chewy though

[cosmogang]

I think I want one.

[Passenger95]

@cosmogang Best compressor I've tried! :-)

[infraredzero]

nice compressor... i think I need some of that jedi mojo of the ob-1 for my pedalboard. ;)

[Passenger95]

@infraredzero haha Never thought of that! Nice! :-)

[punkeratheart]

I got to try one of these in front of an effectrode tube drive, and now I can die happy!

[Passenger95]

@punkeratheart Right on!! :-)

[cosmogang]

So, it's a keeper?

[Passenger95]

@cosmogang If you're into compression, it's totally a keeper! :-)

[mashaiam]

Does it add sustain or it just compresses the sound of your guitar?

[Passenger95]

@mashaiam It adds sustain as well. Especially on higher compression settings. Cheers!

Dude! I just got my new Strymon Ob.1 and it sounds like complete unfettered BUTTER! I am so much a compression kind of guitarist when it comes to clean tones because it adds such character and BEEFY response to attack and sustain. My personal sound has the Strymon at max Output, Max comp with 30% treble boost whenever I fade to clean and ambient stuff. The VERY first thing it noticed is how quiet this pedal is even at max everything! AMAZING! Thank you soo much! I will showcase my stuff soon

[Passenger95]

@drawk56 Right on!! Ya, totally rad compressor. :-)

[AmazingTone]

Sounds great! Have you played the Diamond Compressor by any chance? Is it anything similar? Thanks for posting it!

[Passenger95]

I wish I had played the Diamond one! That would have made a cool shootout. Sorry about that! Have a great evening!

[AmazingTone]

That's ok Sir, it's still a great demo! Thanks again.

[Passenger95]

No problem!

[drawk56]

Hey Man! I have to say that I am getting a little freaky obsessed with your tone and ideas. I love it cause you're the first that I've found that has a very close taste and guitar set up as I.

Thought you could help me out. I love the sound of this strymon but...

What is your opinon of the 4 knob keeley when comparing it to the strymon? Both pedals are close in price. Thanks for the videos!!!

[Passenger95]

Right on, bro! It's been a while since I've played the Keeley. But from what I remember, the Strymon is just so much unlike any compressor I've ever played. It's compressing your sound, but it doesn't sound like a compressor. Like, all the great focus and sustain and professionalizing of a compressor, but without the squish. Which I love!

That's just my humble opinion, though. But this is the best comp I've played. :-)

[CBLA009]

Great demo!

[Passenger95]

Thanks! And thanks for watching. :-)

[yearofrolling]

That was extensive! Nice demo.

I like all that U2 picking.

I might have to look into getting a compressor now...

[Passenger95]

Thanks for the kind words. :-) It's a surprisingly good-sounding compressor. Cheers!
