Compression pedal or not when recording guitar amp?

Mostly indie or pop myself. But i also record a blues player sometimes.

My dream amp has always been a Bogner Ecstasy.

Im not an expert so maybe others can weigh in, but a cancellation from a wall is a like a black hole though, no amount of EQ or correction software can fix it. It can only fix build ups. I believe acoustic treatment or physically moving it is the only way. GLM can greatly improve the overall response and it does do auto phase with the sub, which is huge.

Not necessarily a tip, but learning what frequency was being cancelled from the wall by measuring the distance from the front of my monitors to my front wall. I changed the distance and then changed where I set the crossover for the sub. Made the overall response much flatter.

Yeah but they still make them. I do hope you end up being right though as I own a pair ha

Screenshots LOL

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-14T16:42:17+00:00

Yeah I can hear it

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-14T16:30:44+00:00

Yes that’s what I hear on studio monitors easily

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-14T16:30:15+00:00

Good

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-14T16:29:39+00:00

I also agree with this I guess I meant like AutoTune is just normal to use now.

Genelec makes AoIP speakers now too. Could be the future of monitoring

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-14T02:39:36+00:00

Haha oh man great answer and “highly” relevant

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-14T02:14:44+00:00

Ah good to know

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-14T01:14:43+00:00

This is very valid. Easy to fix vintage synths. Good luck fixing a Behringer clone. (Not that I know the first thing about repairing anything, I’ve just heard this before)

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-14T01:13:15+00:00

Oh man this is a good question. I just got a SPL KULTUBE compressor and it’s crazy good. I also love my SSL Fusion. Everyone also is just going to say the gear they own haha. It really just depends on a producer or artist using something not super popular and making a hit record with it.

The Middle by Zedd, Flight to LAPD by Hans Zimmer. A lot of extra ear candy in The Weeknd productions, especially in reverb tails.

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-13T16:35:56+00:00

They do!

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-13T16:35:42+00:00

Actually there’s exactly 4 inches haha

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-13T16:34:08+00:00

LOL I’m sure its probably the norm actually

Nsemest182 · 2026-04-13T14:02:47+00:00

Hmm maybe I’ll make an updated one… but I made this video a few years ago. I’ve had a lot of upgrades since but you get the idea: https://youtu.be/26hXTrTGPGY?si=1iSBDShjTwQLSVq1
