Keeley 4 Knob Compressor Pedal Review

2/22/2018

Easy to Use Convenient Compressor

Having things simple is very important to me. I hate messing around with a bunch of unnecessary crap.

The 4 Knob Compressor Pedal from Keeley works perfectly for me. It's small, has sturdy construction, and easy to use.

Benefits of Using a Compressor

Here are some reasons why I use a compressor.

It allows for quite notes (softly played notes) to be heard at the same level as the louder notes (heavier picked notes).
- When you play fast music and like to shred, it is very important to have all of your notes heard.
You can practice without distortion and still hear all your notes come out.
- Sometimes distortion can give the illusion that a note was played when you really start picking up speed. Using the compressor allows your ear to tell the difference between a picked note, or a flubbed note much easier when played on a clean amp channel.
Thickens Up Your Sound
- Metal Guitars call for a nice thick sound. A good compressor is a must have to really thicken up your guitars in recording.

User Feedback

"If you've been using inexpensive or midprice compressors, or are convinced that only the vintage Boss compressors are worthy, springing for a Keeley will be a revelation."

-Peter B. Hales

"Amazing pedal. Gives my sound so much beef and the 4 knobs allow you to change and mess with your sound until you're happy! I totally recommend it!!"

-Ivan

"What can I say? It's the best stomp box compressor I have ever used. It beats out a bunch of the crappier rack compressors I've used. Shell out the cash and it won't disappoint."

-Matthieu P. Decker

Improve Your Guitar Sound

Seriously, a compressor is an absolute must have if you want to get the best possible sound from your guitar.

I highly recommend the 4 Knob Keeley Compressor. It has never let me down!

Metal and Rock Rhythm Guitar Crash Course

$150.00 $97.00

What's the #1 thing every guitarist needs? Speed? Accuracy? Natural Ability? Knowledge? WRONG!

Psst! Let me share a little secret with you…if your rhythm sucks, everything suffers. Everything. Rhythm, by far, is the single most important aspect of music. It separates the men from the boys. You’ll never become the guitar player you dream of being with poor rhythm.

I designed the new Metal and Rock Guitar Rhythm Crash Course to dramatically improve your rhythm. This will carry over into all other aspects of your guitar playing.

What if the material is too difficult? Won’t it overwhelm me?

This course has been carefully crafted to benefit a wide variety of guitar players. Each section has varying levels of complexity at a variety of tempos. That means you learn at the pace and tempo you want. The section-ending etudes provide you with the chance to put everything together. With them, you’ll solidify your ability to switch between different rhythm patterns. As you conquer each one, watch your confidence soar.

So what do I actually get? Do I only get a few tabs and some videos?

Phhffttt! Are you kidding? You get way more than that. Each section includes:

Videos with imbedded tabs that display the count, strumming pattern, and chord names - everything you need in one convenient place
Video explanations that ensure you understand how to count each rhythm pattern
Video demonstrations (at various tempos) that show you how to play each rhythm pattern
Audio tracks (at various tempos) allowing you to practice at the speed you want
Etudes with uniquely created drum tracks, so you’re not just playing exercises - you’re playing a song

My favorite song isn't in 4/4 - will this course help me?

Though 4/4 time is the main focus of this course, I haven’t ignored other time signatures. The section “Beyond 4/4” has got you covered. You’ll learn how to count and play in 8 other time signatures. There’s even a short section on polyrhythms and polymeters - for those seeking a real mental workout.

Here’s how some students have described my teaching methods, which you’ll enjoy in this course:

“John has a natural way of teaching music that makes it a little easier to understand…And it feels good to know how to properly do certain things, especially things like 16th notes and rhythms in general.” ~ Derek
“John's got a very systematic approach to teaching guitar …” ~ Josh
“As a teacher, I find him to be very, very attentive to detail, to the structure of the music, and how things function and teaching you how they function and helping you understand how they function.” ~ Mike

The Metal and Rock Guitar Rhythm Crash Course includes:

180 different pieces of music, tabbed out with rhythm notation - You’ll be busy for ages
609 videos (demonstrations and explanations) - You’ll know exactly what to do and how to do it
Over 5 ½ hours of audio files - Play along and be confident you’re playing in time

And if you buy the course outright, you get Guitar Pro files (Ver. 6 & 7) for the entire course. As an introductory offer, you can get everything in this course for only $97. That’s the price of 3 guitar lessons.
