Analog Man MINI BICOMP Manual

BASIC information:

JACKS:
Right is input, left output. Battery is disconnected when input cord removed. Always remove
input cord (if using battery) when not being used as battery will drain even when LEDs are off.
POWER: 9V Alkaline internal battery or 9V DC (NOT AC please!!!) negative center adaptor. Use of
an AC power supply like Line6 or Foxrox will fry this pedal so check for DC output. Boss PSA, or other
effects type adaptors will work fine. Voodoo labs or other high quality power supplies recommended for
best sound and least noise. The effect draws under 10mA when both effects are ON and just under 4mA
when both LEDs are off. So a battery will last over 40 hours with both effects ON.

COMPROSSOR information:

but improved to make the sustain more solid and less wavering and seasick sounding. The compROSSor
has more sustain and a cleaner sound than the juicer. The CompROSSor uses NOS (new old stock)
2SC1849 Matsushita transistors which were used in the original ROSS compressor and early script logo
MXR dynacomps. We use higher quality capacitors than the original, for improved sound. The circuit
board is double-sided with GROUND PLANES everywhere possible to minimize noise. This is
important as any compressor amplifies ambient noise when you play lightly or stop playing, as they go
to maximum gain. Any noise from your pickups will be brought up when you stop playing, so if you
need complete silence it is best to turn off the compressor(s) when you stop. The COMPROSSOR
features below do not function when only the JUICER is turned on.

SUSTAIN KNOB

The higher it is set, the louder the volume will be swelled and the more the attack will be compressed.
Starting in 2003 we are using a correct taper Reverse Log pot for the sustain knob so the position of the
pot is the same to get the same amount of sustain as an original Ross or Dynacomp.

ROSS VOLUME KNOB:

amp further into distortion.
This product is actually two effects pedals in one. The left side is based
on an improved version of the Ross compressor (compROSSor) and the
right side the Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer (Juicer). Each is
independent and can be used separately or together. The order of the
pedals, if used together, is Juicer first. Here are the basic specifications:
1. True Bypass on both effects
2. Two 3PDT stomp switches, right for JUICER and left for
compROSSor
3. Two LEDs: YELLOW for the Juicer and RED for the
compROSSor
4. Power adaptor jack (9V Boss style)
5. CompROSSor VOLume knob on left, Middle knob is
compROSSor SUStain, right is Juicer VOLume.
The ROSS circuit is quite similar to an MXR dynacomp
: Turning up the SUSTAIN knob sets the amount of sustain and compression.
Set the volume, can be used to boost the signal somewhat to drive an
