What is it?
In addition to being recognized as a trailblazing guitarist, Tosin Abasi has established himself as a savvy entrepreneur. Abasi has cultivated a signature range of guitars and pedals that cater to his unique style and curated tones under the name Abasi Concepts, an LA-based company he co-owns with COO Ivan Chopik.
While his brand is mostly recognized for its guitar models, Abasi has decided to release his first signature compressor pedal, the Micro-Aggressor. The Micro-Aggressor stands out as a boost-style compressor with two discrete parallel compression circuits built in.
And if that sounds unusual, it is. But once you understand how both seamlessly interact to enhance your signal and infuse your attack, you may never want to live without this tone-shaping compressor on your pedalboard.
