Excellent compressor
Vlaho 28.02.2016
Xotic SP Compressor is mini pedal, but with excellent features. Although mini in size, features put to shame many larger pedals on the market.

Pedal is build as mini pedal, but it is quite high, so when put on pedal board you will find it easy to step on and switch it off/on. This is a big plus if you are going to use it as solo booster, later in pedal chain.

In front of you will get volume, blend and compressor/sustain options, but under the hood there is 4 dip switches that will change this compressors attack/release time, high cut and low cut filters. Amazing number of options in such a small enclosure.

With blend control you can get from gentle and transparent boost to high squished country twangs.

This is very versatile compressor, high quality build and amazing number of options.

Pedal came with battery included and quick guide with sample setting. Nice.

I tried it with single coils and humbuckers and got very good results. Recommended.

Amazing
sooks 24.11.2014
Great pedal
lovely soft touch footswitch
can go from more extreme compression to very very almost not there compression with the blend control
blend controls gives you the 'feel' back that compressor pedals normally lack
internal dip switches add to tonal variation/flexibility

Mighty
Patrick5977 29.01.2015
A mighty little compressor, bought mainly for it's size but kept due to it's performance! Very simple to use, and great for Funk, Country, and to tame a High Gain amp in a rock context. Exotic quality is high as always!

Perfect compressor pedal!
Martin C. 377 14.05.2013
I knew Xotic made great pedals as I already have an Xotic EP Booster in my guitar rig. I'd been looking for a better compressor pedal for some time (my Marshall ED1 was getting a bit long in the tooth) and as soon as I read that Xotic had released the SP Compressor, I knew I had to try it. Once I watched reviews and listened to clips on YouTube, I knew I had to have it! But even this hadn't prepared me for how much I would fall in love with this pedal.

It's small. In fact, it's really small. Shorter and narrower than almost every other pedal I have (albeit slightly taller), and I think it would probably survive a bomb attack. But it's not the construction that makes this pedal special. It just sounds "right" - it enhances and smooths out your guitar sound without introducing extraneous noise or impacting your playing negatively. It's perfect for helping clean guitar sounds jump out in the mix and compete for volume with more overdriven tones. And it works great with both single coils and humbuckers (most compressor pedals I've tried don't get on with humbuckers).

In summary, if you're looking for a compressor pedal, this is the one to buy!

Quality made compressor
kitarist 28.05.2018
Nice compressor with low noise. Almost always on on my pedalboard. I had to learn to love compressors. In my early days those were a non necessary effects. but now, also with (The Pedal Show) I educated myself. Xotic makes really high quality products (have others too). I only miss an option to switch to MXR compressor emulation. I like that one too, but is really noisy.

The best so far
PKkk 10.11.2024
After trying a whole bunch of the "best" compressors on the market on my Martin J40 I landed on this one. To my ears it does exactly what I need, a very gentle compression only when I play in finger picking, on the light setting (on default internal switches positions), gentle setting it gives me what I need without ruining my sound. I bought two for two pedalboards and stopped my search, happy!

Xotic SP
JeffK 25.03.2015
Been researching this compressor for some time but not able demo one. Took the plunge and does not disappoint. Lives up to the hype.

Would highly recommend both Xotic gear and Thomann.

Nice comp pedal, but need to get the settings right
Michael K. 197 04.06.2013
A first, this sounded like a very noisy compression pedal (like many others). But, after getting the settings right (esp the internal dip switches), it sounds like a dream.

small pedal is usually nice - it takes less space on pedal board. However, the size of this is such that it's easy to knock the nob settings with your foot.
