Wow, the Klark really sounds amazing.

This is probably the best "sound video" on KZread! Awesome musicians, good gain matching of the examples, no inaccurate or misunderstood information, a good signal path, an interesting history lesson and no craving for e-mail addresses :D It's perfect! Thank you for making this!

WONDERFUL JOB. I can’t imagine the amount of thought and hours that went into this. Thank you so very much for doing what I always wanted someone to do...line up a bunch of dif units and switch between them w the same material. So freakin simple in idea...SO complicated and consuming to actually execute. THANK YOU and congrats on a job WELL DONE.

Finally, an audio channel that doesn't take itself so seriously, and isn't so drenched in suggested marketing/advertising that I want to execute myself (let's hope I haven't spoken too soon, only seen a few vids). Subbed.

The drums really showed that; silver face smashed that. I liked it on the guitar and bass too. Though on the guitar I thought the black face had a thicker, smoother more pleasing sound. But, I think mostly that was just the effect it had on tone shaping, than the compression.

Amazing review. All reviews need to be done like this. Brilliant.

In the mix comparison I had a liking for the Hairball over all the others for some reason I couldn't quite put my finger on. Then on the isolated track with the gain all the way up I figured it out; the ratio of coloration seems to be perfect for my preferences compared to the others. Except for bass, I liked the purple best. Very interesting differences overall. Great work guys!

This was an excellent shout out. Great vid! The Silverface was the winner to my ears individually, overall on the mix though, I liked the reissue the best. I also liked the Purple on the individual tracks. The reissue sounded cleaner overall though.

Urei and specially UA Classic killed it imo.

love that intro!!!! the saints are marchin' in 🙂

The Silverface, the Hairball and the Klark added something really nice to the low end in the full mix, love it! Will defintely get 2 or 3 of the Klarks now :D

Thanks for taking on the Herculean task of doing this shoot out. It should've gotten about 10 times the views. Interesting how different the various revisions reacted to each instrument. Obviously, it would be nice to have a silverface (was offered by a friend to buy one at the going rate, but declined), but for overall compression tasks, I was happy with the UA reissue - it retained a nice amount of headroom in all tests.

Brilliant video !!!

Very well done comparison. Most people will find a way to mess it up. You obviously spent a lot of time trying to get it right. Well done!

thank you guys! This is a superb audio/video!!! The dudes in the "virtual" real band are amazing (really top session guys u can tell, well done fellas). And the idea of changing the sounds exactly on the bar is spot on (so so simple and logical but yet so so unique and ...still logical :) ) . I would have just one suggestion.... if I may... to change the sounds every second bar (one bar is really a bit too fast for most of the brains out there). That would make youtube videos of audio stuff comparison, on some other level. thanx again

Great performance

Super intro ! Waw

Excellent shoutout! Silverface as some character, I never thought the Purple Audio could be that gritty when pushed to the limits. And putting the price aside, the KT is an excellent one I really liked it on the snare with a very good overall frequency balance. Can't wait for the LA2A shoutout. thanks

My personal all around favourite is the purple audio. Not only is it relatively affordable, it sounds great, distorts properly amd musically, and is easily available compares to the original units. Would be my go to for high end analog 1176 sounds. If I could find a pair though, the Rev D were to die for as a great all around choice

After listening to these comparisons, i think im going to try the Klark Teknik. Its the only one i can afford. Lol. But it sounds really good, as long as u dont get a defective product. From all the reviews ive seen on any of the Klark Teknik products they are hit or miss due to bad quality control, but im willing to take the risk. They sound fantastic when its a properly functioning unit.

I know this is an old video, but, EXCELLENT INTRO :D

Thank you so much for doing this. I can understand how tiresome it would have been. You have organized the files so well. Kudos for that! Regarding comparison, on quick reviewing, I found Slate's plugins required more caliberation, particularly with output settings. On matching Attack,Release and GR by ears, the results of FG-116 and Monster were very comparable with others just like another piece of hardware. Except for bass where all hardwares had distinct advantage of low end response, on vocals and guitars, in blind test, it was indistinguishable to hear FG-116 vs any hardware. It was more like each one had slight different texture.

Great job!

what a great channel!!! thanks, really appreciate ;)

HA! Best thumbnail EVER!! 😎👍👍

As others have mentioned thank you for all the work. An idea on these types of videos would be to add a bar of the clean signal to have a reference of the changes as well as a cleanse of palettes

Excellent 😊

AMAZING Video btw. 1 fun addition to consider for future videos, at the end include the whole mix and flip between the different mixes using each compressor across each track. Much like preamp demos, you really hear the bigger effect when you hear the entire mix with everything tracked and stacked up working together. One might have a nice mid-range clarity in solo, but cumulatively across the mix it could create an unwanted mid bump across the whole mix. Edit, after listening some more you can hear that the hairball has a bit more low mid push and different level of color/distortion, so I would love to hear hairball across all tracks vs the KT to see if the mix is more muddy or just adding subtle thickness.

Great video))) Maybe LA 2A next))

Dude! that intro mate 😂😂😂 it's great to see someone whack like i am. 🤣 You really made my day. 🙌😃

Hello. Just saw this video and I loved it! Thanks for it, it’s the best way to hear these things, very well done. Just one suggestion: in each cycle it would be nice to hear the dry signal also.

Owen Murphy The attack time is variable from 20-800 microseconds, so on paper it certainly stacks up, but it does sound slightly behind the original units on grabbing those transients.

Fantastic comparison. Thank for you going through the barmy effort to put together such a video. All I can afford's the KT, but I'll say that you can bypass the compression on the KT by only lightly pressing one of the ratio buttons, switching them all off. The Rev H has a lovely attack on the snare.
