The Famed Ego Compressor in a Compact Package

The Wampler Mini Ego Compressor electric guitar effects pedal boasts the same transparent performance that has made its larger brother a gold standard among musicians. This addition to the line does it in a compact, pedalboard-friendly design. Its simple 5-control layout is simple to dial in and features the popular blend knob for balancing your dry signal with the compression effect. And the Mini Ego Compressor is constructed from only the highest-grade components for a pristine tone that makes everything you play sound better.

Famous Wampler compression

The original Wampler Ego Compressor can be found on pedalboards throughout the world. This compact version of that pedal delivers the same transparent performance in a pedal that is sure to fit in the space you have left on your board. The Mini Ego is capable of compression ranging from the clucky squish of chicken pickin' country to the barely-there tones that make this circuit a popular option for an always-on pedal. Guitarists and bass players alike are sure to swarm to the Mini Ego Compressor.

Intuitive control layout

The Wampler Mini Ego Compressor effects pedal's simple-to-use 5-control layout makes finding your perfect amount of dynamic control effortless. The sustain and volume controls dictate the amount of compression and output the pedal generates, while the handy blend knob adds your dry signal back in to retain the original character of your tone. And mini-toggle switches for attack and tone offer straightforward tweaking of the pedal's overall tonality. This is a great addition to the Wampler Ego Compressor lineup, and you'll find it here at Sweetwater.

High-quality construction

The first thing that will strike you about the Mini Ego Compressor is its diminutive size. This comes in handy because compression is an effect we all need on our boards. The pedal's true-bypass switching keeps your dry signal pristine and unaffected. This lets you determine how much headroom you need. Brian Wampler is well known for only using the best components available in all his electric guitar effects pedals, and the Mini Ego Compressor is a great example of this dedication to quality.

Wampler Mini Ego Compressor Pedal Features:

  • Popular compressor circuit in a pedalboard-friendly enclosure
  • Blend knob balances your affected and non-affected signals
  • True-bypass switching won't affect your tone when disengaged
  • Simple-to-use 5-control layout

Looking for pedalboard compression...

...and got a lot more.

My guitars are singingand my ears much happier.
Having placed the Mini Ego behind my TC Electronics tuner which has a signal buffer, I have gained control of my out of control pedals. Super happy with the volume control and tone shaping abilities. Get one!

Mini just as good as the full size

I have been a Wampler fan for years now. I have had the original Ego on multiple boards over the years. Building a new board I wanted more real estate space. The mini Ego was a no brainer. I have tried just about every compressor out there and in my opinion the Ego is the best. It's one of my always on pedals and for good reason.

Finally, One I Like

I have tried a few other compressor pedals but have always struggled to find useful settings for them. Generally, I find they have too much of a negative impact on my dynamics and the way I play. Recently, while listening closely to how my guitar soloing was struggling in our band's live mix, it occurred to me that using a compressor as a boost might be the solution. After checking out several reviews of the Wampler Mini Ego, I decided to give it a try. Good choice! Set carefully, it takes my soloing from just being a bit louder to actually standing out. It gives my solos the volume boost I need but it also adds clarity so that my solos now sit in the mix correctly. I have no idea why the Mini Ego sounds better than some of the other compressor pedals that I've tried but it does, at least for me. This has been a great addition to my pedal board.

Top notch compressor in a mini

Wampler makes great stuff. I needed a mini compressor with a blend control, this fit the bill. It can do everything from open and transparent to Dyna Comp squish. Highly recommend.

Great as a boost too!

I got this pedal because I needed some comp on my board. Its small size made it a no brainer. But, after watching Danish Pete use this very pedal as a boost! Oh my! Set this thing with little comp and crank the clean blend. Use the volume to set level of gain. Unreal. You could use it as an always-on pedal. But I like to hit it and quit it! No, it dosnt have a momentary. Just latch. It is like having a boost pedal with all types of options on your boosted signal. Brilliant!
