BecosFX is nominated by Guitar Magazine among the “15 of the best boutique effects brands to watch”

Compressors are far from the most exciting pedals around, but that may be because you haven’t heard of BecosFX. They ‘shrunk the rack’ to concoct the CompIQ Stella, a stompbox compressor that has all the features and performance power as a high-end VCA studio unit. In our review of the pedal, we said, “Single notes are thickened without thumping, and chords gel together in a way that somehow makes you sound like a better player.” The technological innovation that went into the Stella extends to BecosFX’s other pedals, too. Like the TS8-MS, an analog overdrive and amp channel switcher that’s somehow also MIDI-enabled. Or the Micro Booster, an onboard guitar preamp that delivers up to 20dB of FET-based boost via a push/push switch.
