CompIQ MINI Pro Compressor Pedal for Bass & Guitar

You NEED To Check Out This CRAZY SMALL Compressor Pedal! It might be small but this pedal packs a bunch of studio grade features, and it sounds great! I have used this pedal on several video lessons and it sounded really sweet and it had a really crisp top end. I’ve never seen a compressor this small period and with all those features, it’s insane. It is a bunch of compression controls, all in a very tiny pedal.
