The Fishman AFX AcoustiComp Mini packs sophisticated, transparent acoustic guitar leveling into an ultra-slim aluminum micro-chassis designed to preserve natural instrument resonance. Moving far past aggressive electric guitar squash circuits, the internal core runs an advanced 32-bit DSP engine utilizing pristine 24-bit A/D/A audio conversion. The internal algorithm is meticulously modeled after the widely acclaimed compression layout found inside Fishman's premier Aura Spectrum system. By handling attack, release, and ratio parameters automatically behind the scenes, the processor targets acoustic transients with immense precision, tracking the broad, complex frequency response of piezo and magnetic pickups without introducing digital harshness.
Engineered for versatile rig integration, the pedal incorporates a specialized input and output matrix utilizing 1/4-inch TRS jacks. When connected via standard mono patch cables, the hardware behaves as a standard serial pedalboard link. However, deploying stereo TRS patch cables unlocks innovative Dual Path routing functionality. A front-panel Audio Path mini-switch allows the guitarist to instantly assign the active compression treatment to either the Tip or Ring signal wire. This enables independent wet/dry parallel routing across dual distinct amplifier or PA mixer channels. To guarantee seamless signal pass-through over complex wiring configurations, a dedicated top slider switch alternates between a relay-switched true bypass network and a low-impedance buffered bypass circuit.
Setting the Comp control to 10 o'clock while dialing the Level control to unity provides a highly transparent parallel leveling profile tailored for heavy strumming patterns. The internal processor clamps down softly on sharp pick attacks and boomy low-end string resonance from dreadnought or jumbo bodies. This prevents input stage clipping on acoustic amplifiers or direct-to-PA soundboard preamps, ensuring rhythmic guitar tracks sit evenly in a dense front-of-house live mix.
Sweeping the Comp control past noon with a minor output bump on the Level knob transforms the device into an excellent detail enhancer for intricate fingerstyle tracking or slide playing. The high-definition 100dB dynamic range tracking amplifies subtle string details, top-board taps, and decaying notes seamlessly. This functionality injects a studio-grade, singing sustain and a punchy, mid-forward presence to single-note lines without creating background hiss or thinning out the instrument's complex harmonic profile.
THIS PEDAL REQUIRES AN EXTERNAL, SUITABLE FILTERED AND REGULATED 9V DC POWER SUPPLY WITH A 5.5mm OD, 2.1mm ID BARREL CONNECTOR, CENTER NEGATIVE POLARITY. TYPICAL CURRENT CONSUMPTION MEASURES 53mA. THE ENCLOSURE DOES NOT PROVISE SPACE FOR INTERNAL BATTERY OPERATION. TO ASSURE COMPONENT STABILITY AND SPECIFICATION PERMANENCE, THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS PAIRING WITH THE FISHMAN 910-R POWER ADAPTER.
WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CAN EXPOSE YOU TO CHEMICALS, INCLUDING BISPHENOL A (BPA), WHICH ARE KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
