tc electronic HyperGravity Compressor

Good value compressor with nice features

Quiet, effective unit, with blend much appreciated. Fast delivery and no problems

Great compressor for studio and live

This compressor is a main stay on my board. Nicely compact and well built. The quality of the switches and knobs give me great confidence in all situations. The TonePrint function is really handy as well as being able to edit your own compression curve. From vintage squash to studio quality it does it all. This pedal also works quite well with acoustic guitar. I personally use this for studio and live work. Great product from TC, definitely would recommend :)

Not sur

I don't like the frequency response on this compressor. It kind of muffles up my sound and doesn't bring out the best in my guitar sound. I've been using it for quite a while, but I wouldn't recommend it. Never seemed to make this sound nice in my guitar chain.

Good compressor

I'll admit that I haven't used a lot of compressor pedals, so feel free to bear that in mind. This pedal is great quality, and as I have found with this TC range in general, is a well designed pedal. Switchable between true and buffered bypass, but on loss of power defaults to true, so you don't lose signal. It comes across as a very well thought out bit of kit.

With the toneprint app on a computer, the range of parameters you can edit is massive. You can almost certainly get any compressor sound you want out of this. I bought it with the aim to have a really transparent compressor that you barely know is on, other than the extra sustain. It definitely achieves this, but it took me a bit of tweaking to get to where I was really happy.

That's basically my only complaint. The default settings could be a bit better I think. They aren't bad, but I don't think they show off the pedal to be as good as it can be. If you like to tinker, then this is probably the only compressor pedal you would ever want

Excellent value, build quality & options!

So many features packed a compact pedal. Sounds great straight out of the box, more so with appropriate tweaking, and if you can't get around to tweaking it just use the Toneprint to directly import a great sound into the pedal. Love the art and simplicity too. Does the job and makes both magnetic and piezo pickups sound gorgeous, especially full acoustically to equal out the range, but is also really useful for extended range guitars to help balance out the low ends when used before distortion. Love it T.C.!

Restarts accidentally

Pros:

- incredible versatile using USB and software (check youtube EytschPi42 DEEP review)

Cons:

- restarts accidentally during playing, very annoying 'cause it produces a loud click into an amp

Decent but there are much better options

I used the HyperGravity pedal in the context of building a pedalboard for live shows with my rock 5-piece band and some professional studio recording. The pedal is well built and sturdy, I had no problems with the hardware.

The reason I chose this compressor over others was because of the controls it offers, they are very good in the sense that you can really dial in the tone you want. But I didn't love this pedal, I actually disliked it because the tone was not very good. Being a professional music producer, I work with a multitude of different software compressors and I understand compression very well and the sound of this pedal was not pleasing to my ears. Even after a lot of fiddling, I was not able to find a GREAT sound, I found some decent, usable ones but nothing that made me feel like my purchase was justified. It's an okay pedal with great features and an okay sound. Nothing to write home about.

Best price-quality compressor

I was looking for a decent compressor but found in this one just the perfect compressor.

Many features and really easy to use. This is a versatile pedal.

And yeah: quite cheap for the quality/features you receive.

Good first compressor

I bought it to use with both guitar and bass and I'm satisfied with how it works on both since it is a good 3-band compressor. The only downside I found is the Toneprint app. I had trouble connecting and editing, both with my computer and phone. After many attempts and different devices, I finally made it work but with a borrowed computer. After being able to connect, it worked well, but now I will always have to borrow a computer to use it properly.

Perfect compressor pedal

Perfect pedal for everything, from vocals to violin. I am definitely buying few more of those in the future. App on your phone makes it a full studio quality multiband compressor.
