Mini Bi-Comp
By Analog Man
The Bi-CompROSSor's two compressors in the footprint of one small comp, with mix and attack set inside by default and closely spaced footswitches.
About this pedal
The Mini Bi-Comp puts the same pair as the full-size Bi-CompROSSor, a Ross-style CompROSSor and an Orange Squeezer-style Juicer, into the footprint of a single small compressor. It costs the same as the full-size version. What you give up is space.
On the standard version, mix and attack are trimpots inside the case rather than knobs on top. External knobs cost extra. The footswitches sit close together, so you can hit both at once or use the side of your foot for one. Analog Man recommends running it from a power supply and suggests the full-size Bi-Comp if you want to use batteries. The full-size version’s four-jack layout and Juicer high-cut switch aren’t offered here. A RYCK toggle, top jacks and 1979 RCA chips are.
