A studio style FET compressor shrunk down to a tiny, board friendly footprint, with just enough control to be useful and none of the fuss. FET compression is a studio mainstay for a reason, and the Whitey Tighty delivers that pleasing, musical squash with a dead quiet noise floor. Three knobs: Volume, Compression, and Blend.

The Blend knob is the star. It lets you mix your compressed and dry signals to find the exact sweet spot, so you can tighten dynamics and add sustain without flattening your attack or coloring your tone. Set it subtle as an always on smoother for clean and low gain playing, or crank it for snappy, percussive country and funk squash. Players consistently note how transparent and quiet it is compared to bigger name compressors. Volume also doubles as a clean boost. Simple, effective, and it disappears into your tone the way a good compressor should.

The tiny footprint is a real practical win too. It is easy to tuck under a pedalboard to save top real estate, and it is perfect for parking at the start of an effects loop on subtle settings. Do not let the size fool you though, it is still capable of very strong, heavy compression when you want it.

Includes: No box. Pedal only

Why I’m selling: Consolidating. Compression duties are handled elsewhere now.
