Good to see you mate. I think it’s a really great product, design/build quality,/feature. But any daw can easily emulat this for a mastering, and it’s be a little bit expensive for independent instrument effect. But great coloration for sound design. Also don’t forget there is also a tons of compressor pedal with great souding and cheaper

Hey Cuckoo. Thanks for your invaluable output over the years. The Bass Sidechain feature Volume jump or drop when engaging or turning it off is something i see for the first time. It seems like there is something not very elegantly programmed cause i have been using sc filters on software compressors for years but never had such a volume jump out of the blue. Regarding the Overdrive, you say it degrades everything. Did you try it very subtly? Can it add a bit of crunch but like "ultra subtle" or does is it more of a "either it does something or it doesn`t" kind of options ? Ps: at 21:40 when you jump to the DYNA is it really only the Dyna playing or is the saturation still going on in the preamp stage? It sounds very saturated for a one knob processor imho ?

I played the Woodrow for a bit. Mine arrived with a very broken foot switch, so I sent it back, but I tried it out for a bit. I felt like the preamp section sounded a bit more true to the Fender Tweed sound than the Strymon Iridium, but didn’t really like how the amp amp responded to playing dynamics and overdrive pedals in front of it. Really sucked the tone out of it, IMO. I’d be curious to experiment a bit with the Max, and compare the preamp section on Max to the tube overdrive on the OTO BOUM. Love my Boum, but inpretty much always process my drums with it, and it is kinda big for the guitar pedal board. I kinda want something similar to the Boum, but a bit smaller and less expensive, ideally. I love how the Boum sounds with some distorted guitar in front, and you can filter out some high end to get some very amp-like tones.

I think my gripe with dsp boxes like this might have a lot to do with the Addac converters, btw. It’s like when you plug something into an Elektron box, too. Like some of the low and high end disappears, and aliasing removes harmonics, and although the effects sound good, the original tone isn’t quite there.

No, you can't feed it an external sidechain. For hardware sidechaining try something like a cheap secondhand Alesis 3036, it's not a great compressor (sound-wise) but with sidechaining all you're really doing is using it as an automated volume control, which it's great at.

I don't have first hand experience with Oto Boum, but I have a feeling you can be more creative, distorted, aggressive and go into crazy territory with the Boum with all the parameters, and different drive circuits. It sounds really cool. But for a subtle transparent and classy compressor, it's very much up to taste and personal preference.

Yeah the TP-7 is only in the hands of a handful of people at the moment. At Superbooth I didn’t feel like it was quite ready for a deep dive. It was still in beta firmware. I think there are a bunch of Superbooth videos of it out there. It’s one of these products that feel absolutely magical in your hand, and every other recorder then feels super dull in comparison. But a Zoom still is much more straight forward to use, and probably more useful in most respects. But the TP-7 seems to have a bunch of very unique features that I’m dying to try out once I get my hands on a unit. For instance, the ports are bi-directional, and can be configured for both recording input, or playback output. How sick is that!
