Tosin Abasi's Abasi Concepts has unveiled the Micro-Aggressor, a compressor pedal that has been engineered to tame transients and enhance clarity in your electric guitar tone – particularly when playing downtuned metal guitar riffs.
This has been in the works for some time. In 2022, Abasi posted a video to Instagram demoing the then unnamed compressor. “Extremely excited to show you guys a new pedal we’ve developed at ABASI!” he wrote. “Something to make the notes feel like they’re popping, as opposed being stamped down. It’s basically the ideal compressor for the fast percussive techniques I love to use and it does it with and amp-like feel and character.”
