Becos FX CompIQ Pro Stella MK2 Compressor reviewed by Bass Gear Magazine

Bass Gear Magazine has published an in-depth review of the CompIQ Stella Pro Compressor MK2, including a detailed video that thoroughly explains each compression control. The review offers a clear explanation of compression concepts, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of professional audio compression. The reviewer concludes by stating:

The Becos CompIQ Stella Pro MK2 with DITOS is not just another compressor pedal – it’s a professional tool that brings the finesse of high-end studio gear to your pedalboard. Its combination of pristine audio quality, deep control, and the added versatility of the DITOS makes it a must-consider for serious guitarists, bassists, and even recording engineers. Yes, it is happy in effects loops, line-level signal paths or with your instrument plugged in directly. So, it’s an “investment,” both financially and in terms of the time needed to master it. But for those who demand the best in tone and flexibility, the Stella Pro MK2 is more than up to the task. It’s a boutique Swiss Army knife of compression that can handle anything from subtle tone-sweetening to aggressive peak-limiting, all while maintaining the natural character of your instrument. — Dan Veall,  Bass Gear Magazine, October 2024
