The BBE VariComp draws from the playbook of vibey vintage compressor pedals and adds an attack control for more flexibility. At the heart of the VariComp is the famed CA3080 op-amp, a component that's largely responsible for the beloved sound of vintage Ross and MXR compressors. Go from gentle squish and control to outright stomped-on tones by dialing through the attack control and find the perfect compression setting for your sound.
