  • Did u ever have any problems with the rothwell distorting whilst the compressor knob was past 12o'clock?

  • @2ixkarmaxi2 Nope, we regularly use it for guitar demos with both knobs at around 1 0'clock without distortion. We run in right after the tuner.

  • B is much better, it leaves most of the bass. the A was twangier, not necessarily my kind.

  • too much top end twang on the clean

    not enough top end on the dirty

    A clearly loses

see all

  • It's weird to actually see this dude.

  • I like A. They are both nice but I guess it's just what style you prefer. I like a brighter sound, the A takes the cake in that department. My guess is it's the Keeley.

  • andy you are my next favorite guitarist next to john frusciante now

  • Bring the smackdowns Back!!!!

  • Contender A all the way.

  • There are some missing mid-high harmonics with overdriven Contender A. A is also more squashy on the attacks. B sounds more full and wide and even wider in the OCD; plenty of bottom and top end.

    After having listened to Rothwell's and Keeley's own demos: A is Keeley and B is Rothwell.

  • @Xidkwhat2callmyselfX

    go to the regular pgs demo of the keeley compressor, listen to it with headphones, you will completely understand, I guarantee it.

  • "A" has to be the keeley. So much more natural sounding

  • I still really don't get what the compressor is used for

    I think it sounds better on bypass

  • Hmmm....listen again...

    At first impression,I prefer b,but hard to say if it's because of transparency so much as I just thought I liked the qualities it brought out..
