Crafted in the late 70s and early 80s by the renowned Coron company, this unassuming pedal packs a punch with its smooth, transparent compression that enhances sustain without sacrificing your tone. At the heart of the HMI Compressor 20 lies the same coveted circuitry found in the iconic Ibanez CP-830 and MXR Dyna Comp.

Simplicity is the name of the game here, with a two-knob layout that puts the essential controls at your fingertips. The Volume knob adjusts the overall output level, while the Intensity knob allows you to dial in the perfect amount of compression, from subtle dynamics control to more pronounced, sustaining tones. This versatility makes the HMI Compressor 20 a valuable tool for guitarists, bassists, and studio engineers alike. Encased in a rugged metal chassis, this vintage Japanese pedal was built to withstand the rigors of the stage. Its compact size and durable construction ensure it will remain a reliable part of your pedalboard for years to come. Discover the magic of the HMI Compressor 20 and let its smooth, transparent compression breathe new life into your playing.
