  • "HAY! I'm..."

    HAHAHA

  • Does the Boss GT-10 have this pedal?

  • thats a nice plant...

  • this pedal is awesome

  • compressors don't do a great job with long sustained chords, I find it makes the initial attack louder but then fails shortly after.

  • will a pedal like this do much for a hard rock/metal sound?

  • nice video!!! it helped me!!!

    

  • omg tune ur guitar xD

  • This could be a good combo for the AC3 

  • very useful video thanks

    

  • He played some chords, some notes, some licks, this demo has been done pretty well, i came here to see the pedal

  • bought one for 40$.. good deal?

  • @lordjared Hell yeah!

  • does the compressor go good with distortion pedals?

    CAN ANYONE HELP ME BY ANSWERING THIS QUESTION PLEASE???

    just wondering if this compression sustainer actually match up good with a boss distortion pedals....or is it just mainly for cleans and country/blues/jazz??

  • @nos0323 i guess it's not next to an od-3 just by chance :)

  • @feelinghangulat ahh well i guess so :)

  • Does This pedal work with a bass?

  • Awesome!

    

  • Does compressor erases noise?? If not, what effector erases noise? Pls help

  • @jeeiioo a noise gate! like isp decimator or the rocktron hush and silencer

  • @jeeiioo Noise gate or EQ

  • he's damn good at guitar :) even though what he plays is oftern similar it will only be for the perposes of demoing pedals! i bet he's got a band and i bet they rock!! :D

  • What will it do to a Marshall played wide open?

  • Does anyone know whether this pedal would be a good idea to use in metal? To get the clarity and equal sound out of each note in faster paced riff with ALOT of distortion

  • by the way, amazing strat sound!

  • this was a really good review, exactly what i was looking for

  • good review

  • i have to take a crap, when i come back i will expect this to be one of the top comments

  • @MaggotMuncher96 Ha that turned out to be a fail, I hope you're still on that toilet! :P

  • @MindImplodingTele yeah...that did seem to backfire a bit didnt it XD

  • Another Unlike FOR JASON SPENCER

  • Don't diss this guy till you've seen Whammy. lol

  • I need to get me one of them thar compression sustainers.

  • ok so i think this guy is a pretty great guitarist and this was a great demo

  • how does it sound if you'll put an delay effect pedal witth it?

  • i don´t have anything against this guy...i mean, don´t know why so much hate :S

  • The CS-3 is a piece of crap stock!!! it should be banned! I modded the crap out of mine!! replaced half the flipping parts with decent stuff!! (panasonic caps) and its now worth using! anyway! if anyone here loves compressors! there is 2 I would say kicks serious ass! and please check them out! the Wampler Ego compressor which has a blend knob! very cool! and the Rothwell love squeeze! which rules!

  • @Fender1976uk And yet the excellent demo we just listened to is the best sounding compression I've yet to hear in my 41-years of playing. No modification needed, nor wanted. You can't fix perfection. But you might try having a doctor fix your ears. Anyone who calls this a "piece of crap" might also consider getting a lobotomy.

  • i dont really like this pedal, i have one, it sounds a little bit to obvious that you have a compressor on.

  • Look up the Rothwell Love squeeze, thats the compressor that doesn't have that chock sound

  • and nasty hiss :)

  • @FullSolo and what average music fan, or even avid music listener would care that you have a compressor on?

  • @cityraintunes ya but compressors should flatten volume, the reason there is a tone knob is to make the eq transparent making it appear as if you dont have a compressor on. to me just sounds like a clamp jumping on top of the signal.

  • @FullSolo isnt that sort of the point

  • @kissing88 compressor should flatten out your guitar sound not clamp down a gate on your tone making it sound like less. Even sound/Responsive tone thats not what this does

  • Thanks dude, I'm thinking about buying one too.

  • Man, I'm sat hear with aside who uses a CS-3 on tour. He's played Gifstock, Claverham, Kingston Seymour & elsewhere. He's hugged all over. It makes his Squier Strat sound great. Great demo.

  • Is it just me or can you get enough pedals and make a crappy guitar sound decent?

  • I'm not interested in the guys playing. I'm hear to listen to the pedal. Don't like it, then go to guitar world and try it yourself.  He showed plenty of versatility and highlighted it's features. Good demo.

  • Jason Spencer can suck my pingas.

  • why does this pedal create so much feedback?

  • @AussiePride991 We hate him for NOT showing us what most pedals do. He just wanks a few pentatonic scales, few chords and kinda fail to show what the pedal is really capable of.

  • I don't really care about what he's playing, i just wanna hear the sound.

  • Great review.

    Thankyou.

  • comressor is amazing pedal but this dude makes it crapy

  • this could possible be the worst review ever

  • @deathonics Sorry, but shut up. It's more helpful than any of your video reviews of a Boss CS-3.

  • The NevadaMusicUK demos are 1000x better than this. no swallowing.

  • @AussiePride991 true

  • @kennykiloz this is just a demo video on the effect pedal

  • wtf he plays nice

  • dude the music you play SUCKS!!

  • does this thing actually sustain your notes for a long time? is it meant to hold out notes for long times or just to compress the sound... how is it compared to the fernandez things?

  • @tips000 It bring up the volume of the lower volume notes up, and decreases the volume of the higher volume notes. It's like playing through a really loud amp with your volume on low, and slowly turning it up. I think the Fernandes 'Thing" your referring to is the Sustainer kit. I would prefer to use a sustainer because you have infinite sustain. With a pedal it's definitely not infinite. But if you can't afford a Fernandes Sustainer, I would advise you go with a Pigtronix philosophers tone.

  • im a beginner in effect pedals. and kinda confuse. wats the real use of this cs-3?

  • Hi this is Jason Spencer, that guy you shoved into your locker in high school

  • This poor bastard...he gets ripped to shreds in every one of these videos

  • it's a pretty simple compressor.

  • Why is it you 16 year olds have nothing better to do than trash every guy and every posting you see on YouTube? You can't begin to play as well as this guy...you haven't got the social skills to be in front of a camera and mic and do this and yet all you can do is make fun of him. What's with that? Get a life, and PRACTICE guitar instead of WATCHING somebody else play and being rude!!

  • @Guitarplar totally true 100%

  • @Guitarplar yea cause you know every person who makes those comments are 16, you know how good they are at guitar, and you know they don't have the social skills to talk in front of camera right? you know everyone who makes those comments? No. And Obviously people come on this page because they DO practice guitar or else they wouldn't be investing in a guitar product. Your comment is retarded.

  • @Guitarplar hey genious not all 16 yo are bashing this idiot, just on the ones where he doesnt play what the pedal is designed for (the metalcore pedal video is the worst one) but i always come here before i buy pedals so i know im going to get the right tone so dont say all of us are say some of "a few"

  • @MaggotMuncher96 dude, spell genius right.

  • @morganchavis spelling nazi -.-

  • @MaggotMuncher96 I'm not a spelling Nazi. When trying to call someone else an idiot, it helps to spell words like genius correctly. I was trying to help you, don't be a jerk.

  • @morganchavis that was meant to be in sarcasm but...sarcasm doesnt transfer well through the Internet

  • @Guitarplar - I agree with you -he is doing a simple demo not a lesson - he states the obvious but you have to cover everybody so someone who has never used one at all knows what it does -well done jason -plus I bet he doesnt read all the negative comment LOL

  • @Guitarplar Because they are mindless morons who are going through puberty.

  • i hate jason spencer

    world music supply should fire him immediately !

    i would've bought the product if jason wasn't explaining

  • @hiperzero11234 judging by your username your a 16 year who has no life and who couldnt think of anything nicer to say so just sat there with their shit username shiting on everyones videos with their shit username cos they didnt have better shit to do with their username.

  • @MeanGreenMovies allright faggot

    obviously i wasn't serious

    and i made this account when i was 14

    and i am not 16 and im not just shitting around the videos

    even though i was you aren't so different faggot

    and i don't want to be one of those people who fights over comments

    so this conversation ends here

    faggot try not to take everything so seriously

    are you jason's mom or what faggot

  • anyoone know if this will beef up your sound and reduce feed back with distortion on?

  • lol I love this guy

  • nice demo

  • And he is degluting in all of his videos too ;) Glurp. He is the swallowing man.

  • this guy sucks!

  • @sexyduck69 why?

  • @EpiLPstandard cos he plays the same shit in every video

  • @sexyduck69 ur face sucks

  • give the guy some slack

  • dude all ur demos sucks just been honest!!!!!!!! u act like u scare or something!!!!!!! have more confidence when u making a demo!!!!!!

  • @odak24

    Go to a lady gaga concert u dick!

  • He doesn't deserve that job!!!!

  • @dirokIBC Why does everybody keep talking shit about this guy?

    Okay, he looks like a geek, but I think he does a great job, good torturial

  • true bypass ?

  • Hey BOSS, how come this guy's CS-3 doesn't hiss like a snake when he turns the sustain past 12 o'clock LIKE MINE YOU BASTARDS?!!

  • @daraghkinch Its bcs this is not the best sound quality, he also said "you can propably hear the hiss from the amp" at around 1:15 :P

  • @daraghkinch what they dont show you is that they most probably have a very expensive noise gate running in the background. :P

  • @daraghkinch Best comment ever.

  • @daraghkinch Noise Gate Most Likely. If you buy this Invest in a noise gate to.

  • world music supply? ._.

    they dont ship even in europe

  • Tune your crap-tar. Deusch...

  • WHAT THA FUCK if i dont want my high sounds to be lowered you suckkaaa?

  • @jnenderica then dont buy the pedal dumbass

  • @1JAT1 and who THE FUCK are you? go buy some boss shit you fucking noob.

  • @jnenderica or use the inbuilt tone control to re raise the trebles. Or stay clear of a comprssor and let the trebly whine of your guitar get swallowed by others.

  • bad demo. i dont need sustain playing that kinda stuff. i need it for my solos playa

  • can i use this to keep a note ringing for a long time like the last solo note in "nothing else matters" by metallica?

  • I! This is Jason Spencer

  • @FullSolo haha

  • Sai daew dicesar

  • Great vid.

  • THIS GUY IS FINE!

  • This guy is FINE!

  • the overdrive is too weak!!

  • @mabt09 It's not an overdrive pedal. I think you have the wrong demo.

  • guitar needs tuned BAD

  • LOL , the video started with a voice crack :D !!

  • Hes my favourite guitarist.

  • i can get any sound from my guitar without an effect pedal, i just have to play por like 5 hours to warm up and get in the zone

  • @kensho3 I know right?!..i hate when people put negative comments out of pure jelousy..this guy is a good player..but he should learn a few diatonic scales XD

  • Where the fuck is the sustain??? I can do what this cat is doing without any effects.

    LOL!

  • How can I take advice from this noob?

  • Bluesmaster!?!?

    I wouldnt say that.

    This guy needs a better chord vocabulary and some new scales.

    And better feel for music

  • boss effects sound so cheesy imo

  • Qith this pedal can you Get your sustain to go forever?

  • does this work on keyboards? like, if i want to record a track from my fostex 4 track to a laptop, and then i put this pedal between them.. does it compress good? cos i'm not using a sound interface..

  • why you don't have a overdrive compresseur when you switch on the pedal there is a metter ?

  • If I could Have a pedal board I'll put:

    A Boss Overdrive pedal Boss compressor pedal Boss Phase Shifter Boss Digital Delay

  • *sigh*

    Every single video is G major to D major.

  • @POPmaster11 So? You watched this cause you wanted to listen to good music? It's a demo of pedals. It's really nice to be able to do a direct comparison to the other pedals

  • "It brings up the lows and brings down the highs, that's kinda what a compressor does"

    No that's not what a compressor is supposed to do.

  • "You'll hear a difference by kicking it on" Really? I would hope so. The guys who try to sell boss pedals always make a big deal of turning on a pedal and it making a difference. Thats the whole point. This guys is an idiot.

  • Haha. Ziggy Stardust.

  • how do you get a thik tone on this pedal

  • Thanks for the demo.

  • id probably buy it just cuz i like that its blue and would look good on a pedal board. wouldnt even ue it

  • dont buy IT!!!!

    if u play any fender guitar, this pedal will increase the fender buzz 10 fold... its terrible

  • i have tried this with my strat or a tele.. it sounds good for me since i only play clean funk jazz and blues. you are right you can hear the hissing like a damn snake but mxr is like that also. what i do is just add a noise cancelling pedal.

  • @grguitar1 Compressors will do this because they are supposed to even out the level of your playing and make the louder parts quieter and the softer parts louder. This will increase any buzz that is already present (especially if you use single coil pickups which are quite buzzy). Often people will use noise gates when they use a compressor, which will cut out the buzz and noise that you get in between playing notes. Hope this helps :)

  • Its NOT a sweet pedal without a mod to sort it out! the stock is full of too much hiss!!!

  • 3:17 cool

  • thats a sweet pedal.

  • this guy plays the same crap for every video

  • So you can compare the effects of the different pedals...

  • @kennykiloz you're jealous. I know thats hard to believe but its true. he's a good player and you know it. Your remark is erroneous. No biggie, though. We all say that kind of ignorant stuff on the way to adulthood. ;-)

  • @kennykiloz Sure, I agree 100% and he gets a lot of flak for doing so. Thing is, it gives me a direct comparison, albeit in blues only and I wish I could play blues like that.

  • @kennykiloz haha yea that guy sucks!!

  • @kennykiloz  for demos, thats a good thing

  • @kennykiloz Are you watching this video to hear music?? I'm watching it to get an idea what the pedal sounds like.

  • @kennykiloz So what? It's not a guitar video, it's a demonstration of effects pedal (in case you haven't noticed)

  • @kennykiloz I was the 100th person to thumb up that comment bye

  • @kennykiloz Dude, he's trying to teach you how to use a product, not melt your face. His playing should be solid but non-deterrent from the topic. Looks like he did a good job.

  • @kennykiloz Wich is good because you can compare each video ;)

  • @kennykiloz One guy with 10 or 20 loser-names, no life, no where to be, and no one to be there with has nothing better to do than playing the role of villiage idiot on this guy's excellent videos. He's a great player with a great tone, and your purely infantile comments will not change anyone's opinion of him, but will continue to speak volumes about you. You've just gotta be black.

  • hes ok

  • I hate how he says '''Hi, this is Jason Spencer from World Music Supply'' :P:D

  • would this pedal be good for like sustaining shit so i can do long divebombs in metal and shit?

  • this pedal is just generally awesome, but to answer your question, yes it would be epic

  • fuck this guy.

  • I hate that guy.

  • I need a sustain pedal bad, I got an Ibanez Prestige S2170FW so you can imagin :P

  • wht bass guitar can be use this pedal??tq

  • any pedal can work with any guitar/bass. Not all pedals will sound good with all guitars/bass though

  • It balances your tones, and sustains a the signal well after it fades. Add a noise gate and digital delay pedal and you'll understand.

  • i like the riffs that u played, im mostly a rock to metaliest metal of metal person, but those are pretty nice, and the cs 3 is something i always have in my pedal setup even if i don't use it because it's a fun thing to play around with

  • i want to quit school and just go to work and buy all the effects of the boss hehehehhe

  • @markneiltan when u do that ....if u want .....email me cuz i bored of school too!!! So i can come with ya xD... Ah theres nothing better to work in a shop and have all the pedals,guitars beeing tested by u every day xD

  • @markneiltan yeeee !

  • @markneiltan Stay in school get the grades you need for a good job and then you might be able own boss.

  • Boss sucks ass but, this pedal isn't that bad at all.

  • where in the pedal chain does it go?

  • It depends on the sound you want. It does different things depending on where it is. You just have to watch because you will get more noise if it is after a noisy distortion pedal. I usually put it first. I saw a guy with one first and one last to get different sounds.

  • yep just got this. love it, totally worth the price

  • Also, anyone who thinks compressors are worthless is a dumbass. Learn something about audio signal processing before you come bitch about how "you can't even hear the pedal." I don't record guitars without some sort of compressor. I use this one for live playing and it works great.

  • would this make hammer on and pull offs easier?

  • No, that is a skill that needs to be mastered in itself. This pedal amplifies the guitars signal without clipping and distorting the sound. Work on hammer on's and pull off's though, because it will lighten the load that your picking hand carries.
