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.

That was a great, to-the-point explanation of how compressors actually work. Cool little unit too, I like the transparent sound
Thanks Mark. I've been researching compressors and this info helps out a lot.
Really enjoying the product reviews Mark, I've been thinking of getting myself a decent compresser pedal like this one 😊
Your take on gear and reviews like this are a good addition to the channel
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.
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 RUclips 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!
It is not a clone. It is an original circuit based on the same dynamics technology (a THAT Analog Engine, which is derived from years of dbx engineering legacy) that Keeley and Empress and others use in their pedals. We all try to offer something different, but the bricks we use may be similar or the same. The overall product makes a difference. For instance, you won't find this many features in a similar sized pedal, at such a competitive price.
@@becosfx Thanks - and agreed it looks like a great little pedal. Btw my suggesting that your pedal is comparable tothe Keeley Compressor Pro in what it can do (but in a MUCH more compact form) was definitely meant as a compliment! But I appreciate that you will be sensitive to the term "clone" and it's good that you have cleared up any misconception on that point.
Great demo with useful info added.
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 seems the compiq mini One, it's another compressor pedal from the same manufacturer. Either you bought the wrong one or they've delivered the wrong one
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?
Think of the 16th notes in a beat. 4. Then when you play just think of the beat. You shouldn't really be thinking of the number 12 anyway. You need to think of the rhythm you have in each beat and play them accordingly.This is why learning to read rhythmic notation is so useful for any player. You just think of individual beat 'permutations'.
I'm in the market for a new compressor, think I'll have to pick this up
Hopefully they paid you for doing a commercial for them.
i always enjoy your videos because you remind me so much like micky form league of gentleman
Thanks for the useful info.
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?
the b3k is a gain pedal, that signal is already compressed. to 'see' what a comp does record a dry signal and then a wet one, compare the waves and switch between the two (do the same with the b3k) that way you will visually learn ho to hear what a comp does. it sounds strange but just record yourself and switch between the signals, you'll understand what i mean :D
@@markostojanovic6973 Hey, thanks for the tip but I did that too and I know how one works, what it does and so on, that's why I got really frustrated that I cannot hear what others seem to hear and be amazed by it. My only take away is that I hear my picking a bit more clearly, I mean the punch at the flick is more accentuated. But I get that with the b3k too. In the darkglass facebook group, everyone who shows off his gear setup, there is an effect pedal (often even more than one) AND a comp pedal so I feel like I'm doing something wrong or I don't know.. :D
@@ThrashingBasskill i had the same issue, i knew what it does but couldnt hear it. thats why i recorded myself dry (direct input), duplicated the track and added the comp. then A/B the tracks and then i realized what is really going there. but as i said, with the pedal you use you already have compression, and a lot of it
Haha, I guess it's a nice way to save some cash :D :P
Depending on your playing style and musical content, you may or may not need a compressor. It may help balancing out the output of your instrument, if you want to tame strong picks and not pass those transients to the speakers. In a metal band, bass compression may not be so "visible". And is not advisable to use it with strong settings anyway, to squish all the dynamics of your playing. But, one way to use a compressor is how Mark demonstrates here in this video, to keep in check strong picks, while leaving the rest of the signal clean and unaffected by compression. This is where Threshold control becomes a great feature, because it allows you to "master" your signal in a transparent way, without altering playing dynamics.
Nice little unit. How is the Noise-floor & build-quality on this pedal? oNe LovE from NYC
Is it fully analog? Seems wonderful
Have you played on the Darkglass super symmetry or hyperluminal?
Opening riff reminds me of level 42
More Chilli Peppers actually. I kind of based it roughly around the rhythmic pattern from Aeroplane
@@talkingbasslessons can defo hear that now. There is a level 42 song, think it's called running in the family that's similar
Is there an Amazon link for this pedal?
Mark could you do a fretless bass video sometime in future ?
Coming soon...
@@talkingbasslessons Cheers , looking forward !
Nice video. Pls can u do something on reggae
3:05 I have one of those :)
Seinfeld!
Wow!
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.
Hey Mark what’s the name of that bass? Cheers 👍🏻
Enfield lionheart
Facu roldan thanks 👍🏻
@@benfox8709 you're welcome mate
I need to take a class in order to understand how to use this pedal.......
It is not that hard to understand compression controls. Please take a look at pedal's manual. We tried to explain all its features in little words. But yes, compression in general is intimidating, especially when it is not clear what is expected from it. Some tend to use compression for "tone shaping", and they feel more attracted to those coloring compression pedals. This is not one of these. the quality of the Analog Engine we use, renders a pristine signal output, without coloring, distortions or artifacts. CompIQ MINI is a very transparent compressor. It handles dynamics without affecting your instrument voice. We like to refer to it as a "mastering tool", where audio content is just left breathing natural and musical dynamics. For instance, Soft Knee, Slower Timings and Threshold controls allow you to attain this.
Thanks! I’m definitely interested.
@@becosfx Great post. Suggestion - not sure anyone has come up with a double compressor circuit that allows the compressor to be used both as a limiter (high threshold and high compression ratio . 20:1) and a 'normal' compressor (e.g. low threshold, modest compression ratio 3:1) at the same time. Instead we end up getting a separate pedal for each. Whoever comes up with that in a small package will have a "killer" product!
@@alkrow1 There are some dual compressors out there. This one is one amazing product: www.fealabs.com/products/db-cl/
Nice 👌🏿
2:56 kompreson😂
Looks great, but my Harley Benton does a fine job at less than a quarter of the price.
That's not saying that isn't a VERY, very nice pedal though.
Obviously different pedals work better for different people and different situations. This pedal is great for those that want a lot of the features of a rack mount studio compressor in a pedal with a tiny footprint. I've never seen a compressor this small period and with all those features, it's insane.
