COMPRESSOR- BECOS FX Comp IQ Mini Pro ...the poor man's 'real' studio comp

BECOS IQ MINI PRO COMPRESSOR 
$200.00 USD
If you are looking for that perfect transparent Comp you probably checked out the Origin Cali76 Compact which is indeed a killer compressor. Unfortunately you had one look at the price and ran to your bedroom for a change of underwear.
BECOS are a small company in Bulgaria. Lets just say in small countries like Bulgaria they are more often than not economically challenged. So a few top engineering guitar playing graduates found if you want a good job ...invent it! There are things like killer OD's that a enthusiastic amateur with a great ear and lots of patience can design. BUT...when it comes to things like a studio grade compressor you have to really know your sh@t!

BECOS make 4 compressors. All 4 can be patched into a recording board and even be used for vocals. That is damn impressive! Yes they are that good. They make a second stripped down Mini. It sounds as good but the Pro is not that hard to tweak and these days a few other pedals and a second guitar is usually a given so being to hit the bulls-eye dead on is worth a small effort.

CONCLUSION
Definitely one of the very best best transparent studio comp out there.
All have a 'sound'. No compressor is free of the kind term we use for pleasant distortion ...coloration. It is wise to try a few comps at a good shop and see just where the 'sound' of a few popular old style guitars comps based on the MXR Dyna Comp sound. Check out the Origin Cal76 if possible and see where your head is at
on their 'sound'.
If you have been there and got the T-shirt and no what you do not want to hear
than consider a BESCO.
