You NEED To Check Out This CRAZY SMALL Compressor Pedal!


Check out the Becos CompIQ pedal here: https://becosfx.com/product/compiq-mini-pro-compressor-pedal-for-guitar-bass/

This week I’m reviewing a great new pedal from Becos. It’s the tiny CompIQ pedal. It might be small but this pedal packs a bunch of studio grade features.

  • Just wanna make a point.
    We don’t hear the difference between the pedal being on and off because often videos are compressed when we load them on YouTube .
    But I trust your word and certainly you feel the difference because you have the benefit of live playing.

  • Well Mark, based on your recommendation I made the purchase. Pretty pricey at almost $200.00 And Man is it small. But the cosmetics on my unit are different than what you show. Instead of 3 knobs, mine only has two, Ratio and Gain. No Thresh but she does have a Hi/Lo button Which I guess is it's substitute. Also, the "Timing" button (lower left) is also missing. How does it sound? OK I guess. But I am disappointed in it not being as you described. Makes me wonder what else may be amissl 🙁

  • That was a great, to-the-point explanation of how compressors actually work. Cool little unit too, I like the transparent sound

  • Hey Mark, do you have a lesson on how to count repeated notes at a high tempo? For example, in the intro of Spit Out the Bone by Metallica, there's 12 open E's per line, which happens to be 16th notes at 170bpm. How could I possibly keep count of them in my head while playing?

  • Really enjoying the product reviews Mark, I've been thinking of getting myself a decent compresser pedal like this one ????

  • That pedal does look like it does a LOT in a small package!

    Looking at its feature set I'd say it was almost a mini Keeley Compressor Pro clone! And that by all accounts is one of the best comps on the market.
    I do love the ability to use this as a limiter (as well as a compressor), by virtue of it having both a 'threshold' dial and being able to combine this with high levels of compression i.e. > 20:1.
    Mark from Talking Bass, who is one of my very favourite YouTube bass presenters, explains how the various features (including the 'counter intuitive' threshold dial!) works really well – guess that was entirely expected.
    I love the compactness and the additional 'specialist' features of this pedal e.g. hard knee / soft knee switch option. In addition, over and above the Keeley Bassist Pro it has a clean blend.
    My Keeley Bassist, which I'm using as a limiter (and it is one of the most effective in that arena – it knocks spots off the usual competition e.g. the very capable Boss LMB-3) could very well be under threat!

  • Hey Mark, I have a question you can maybe answer… does one really need one?
    I play in a metal band (with a pic and the b3k effect by darkglass to get more bite) and it almost seems that every bass player on this planet preaches that a bassist needs a compressor pedal because of the dynamics. I tried one of the best as many tell (Darkglass hyperluminal) but I almost didn't notice a difference in any setting at my last rehersal. I know how it works and what it does but the effect was minimal. Many told me that it's more what you feel than what you hear but without it, my Low End has grund, my highs have bite and as soon as I switch it on (no matter where in the signal chain), it muds the lows and cuts the highs to an extend. Am I now some kind of unicorn for leaving this effect behind?

  • I am extremely jealous. It's not cos of your hairstyle, black shirt or purple bass. I can't quite put my finger on it. lol.

  • it's amazing how small these pedals are now. When I was playing in bands, I had to carry a heavy rack case around with me.
