Any mini compressor recommendations - pref cheap

not particular experiened with compressors
in general but looking at something to smooth out clean picking with modulated delay reverb and would also add something to boosted overdrive into crunchy marshall .

The yellow mooer one is very good.

If you can find any mini clones of Orange Squeezer types, they work well for your intended purpose. And they work equally well with single coils and humbuckers which can't be said of a lot of comps.
Yes, I realise this isn't much help. Sorry.

I have a mini fender compressor you can try out if you want when I get back to the uk before new year

If the the yellow mower one is anything like the Diamond one (it's supposed to be a very close clone), then I can't recommend it enough.

I love the Diamond one, it's the best one I've ever had, and I've had all of them.

Had a Valeton for a while. Very good indeed. Was like a modded Boss.

SP comp is fantastic and tiny, not cheap though, acceptable 2nd hand however!

Another vote for the Yellow Mooer. Always on when the Strat plugged in.

not that i know of, it was worth the price though having had a dyna comp and a mooer in the past, the controls are very intuitive and it sounds great.

My answer to "which compressor?" Question always has been and always will be the Fairfield Accountant. 

Treat yourself!

Double the price of the mooer - but it's a stonking pedal.

Seconded...well thirded. If you don't mind stretching your budget somehow, this is more than worth it. It absolutely fits your criteria, best pedal purchase I made this year.

I got the SP for Christmas - absolutely love it. Set up with volume at 3 o'clock and blend at 9 o'clock with mini toggle at low compression. Lovely fat boost into the OCD. Bloody awesome. It replaces a Mooer Blue Comp which was useless and rubbish.

If you're up to building a kit, both BYOC and Pedalparts (Poodle) sell 1590a Orange Squeezer clones. Smaller enclosures make for a more fiddly build though...

"Supposed to be" is a long way from the reality. The Mooer is a good pedal for the price but it is not up to the Diamond.

One of the rare occasions where it's worth the price difference. There's just "something" about the Accountant that sets it apart from the rest

It's not cheap but the Fairfield Circuitry Accountant sounds very impressive from clips I've heard:

A mate of mine never understood why anybody would want a compressor. When he eventually got one it was one of the expensive ones. I don't think he uses it any more.

I bought about six from Ebay at £20 each and tried them all out. I picked the one with less hiss that tightened everything up.

I recommend a shoot-out like this. The only way to find out what works for you using your own gear is to buy or borrow and try it out.
