![]() ![]() Yes, you could use a compressor this way, but I tend not to. Some use compressors to control the dynamics of guitarists who lack finesse. I’m talking about the natural, wide dynamics of the guitar. I’m not talking about uneven dynamics in playing. Guitars are very transient-heavy instruments. Compared to the piano, which has fairly even dynamics, the guitar has a quick transient with relatively short sustain. This allows for a more consistent sound and has benefits like preventing tape output from overloading and digital output from clipping.Ĭlean guitar sounds have a lot of dynamics. Compressors were invented to reduce the distance between peaks and valleys. The difference between those peaks and valleys could sound jarring or cause overload, depending on what you’re running your signal into. With a clean guitar, you will see peaks in the recorded sound. A compressor’s purpose is to even out your guitar’s signal. What a compressor actually does isn’t all that confusing. ![]() ![]() Compression is one of the most confusing effects to incorporate into your guitar chain. ![]()
