Product ReviewsXotic SP Compressor Guitar Effects Pedal

Simple, Small, Excellent Performance

I already own two Compressors from Wampler and TC Electronics. I favored the TC one because of the adjustable options available through the TonePrint port. Although the TC Electronics served me well, I always heard great things about Xotic. I love the size of the pedal and when I saw a decent offer on eBay, I pulled the trigger.

All I can say is... WOW! This pedal truly lives up to the great reviews it has received. It is very easy to find THAT sound you want with this pedal. I didn't even need to crack open the box to get to the other adjustments. The pedal is quiet, quite sturdy and is capable of getting as much or as little compression you need. It has replaced the TC Electronics Hypergravity compressor (really have to start selling off the pedals I no longer use!)

Of note, based on the performance of this Xotic pedal, I recently purchased Xotic's Soul Driven Overdrive. Another home run!Read full review...

Great pedal, and a steal of a demo deal!

Wasnt sure what to expect as it was a demo, but it in pristine condition. Saw no signs of wear at all and functions beautifully. Great value, especially when I was able to add an eBay $5 off coupon to nab it for $85.

As far as the pedal itself, I've just started scratching the surface of what it can do, but am very pleased that so far I am getting good tones out of it, especially when it comes to sustain. I tried a Dynacomp and a Joyo compressor, neither delivered like this. Very happy!Read full review...

Great simple compressor

The simplicity of this unit makes me very happy. Minimum of knobs and switches makes for an easier live experience, and I love the sounds, from subtle glue to bright spankiness.
And I was really pleased with how quick and painless the purchase process was...Read full review...

One of the best you can have on your board

Except for regular controls, there's the clean blend, small size and battery operation. Can't go wrong with this one, which is why I had to source mine from th US. Can't find a used offer in my country. When people buy it, they don't want to part with it!Read full review...

Great compressor

This is a very useful and versatile pedal. You can get a variety of settings by adjusting the internal DIP switches over and beyond the exterior controls. That, plus a small footprint and rugged construction make this a winner.Read full review...

Great Quality But Not Fond of Internal Dip Switches

I needed a mini comp pedal for my board. This one seems the most recommended. It’s very high quality and totally flexible. I’d rather not fiddle with internal dip switches, however.

Set it and forget it

Very clean as I am using it. Slight gain and sustain is what I was after. Works well with crunch pedals and flanger. Also using the Exotic pre amp. Good stuff.

Very rugged. A different animal then my Boss CS-3 but it does a very good job. I love it that it is so compact. I turn it on and leave it on. Luv it!

Very transparent, no tone suck

To my ear this is a perfect unit, compressing the dynamics without in any way altering the tone. The controls are robust and intuitive.

I have not done any A/B testing vs other units in a similar price range; I just upgraded from my old MXR Dyna Comp and could not be happier. I should have spend the extra $$ years ago.Read full review...
