BECOS CompIQ STELLA Pro Compressor Pedal with DITOS Trafo Output for Guitar & Bass

The BECOS CompIQ STELLA Pro with DITOS Trafo Output combines BECOS' flagship studio-grade analog compressor with a factory-installed DITOS (Direct Injection Transformer Output Stage), creating an exceptionally versatile tool for guitarists, bassists, recording engineers, and performing musicians. Hand-built in Austria, it delivers transparent Blackmer® VCA compression together with a premium transformer-balanced direct output for stage and studio.

While the standard STELLA Pro is already one of the most sophisticated analog compressor pedals available, the DITOS version adds an entirely new level of flexibility. Its transformer-coupled balanced output can feed a recording interface, mixing console, front-of-house system, or other professional audio equipment while adding subtle analog warmth and musical character to your signal.

Professional Compression Meets Premium Direct Output

The CompIQ STELLA Pro features comprehensive controls for Ratio, Threshold, Attack, Release, Gain, and Parallel Mix, along with selectable Feed-Forward and Feed-Back compression modes, adjustable Sidechain Filtering, Hard/Soft Knee operation, manual or automatic timing, and an advanced LED gain reduction meter.

The factory-installed DITOS module expands the pedal even further by providing a transformer-coupled balanced output that can send your compressed signal directly to a mixing console or recording interface. The transformer contributes subtle harmonic richness, enhanced low-end depth, and smooth high-frequency detail while maintaining the exceptional transparency that defines the CompIQ STELLA Pro.

Ideal for Live Performance and Recording

Whether you're recording directly into an interface, sending a dedicated feed to front-of-house, or building a professional touring rig, the DITOS version provides capabilities rarely found in a compact compressor pedal. The balanced output makes it possible to integrate the STELLA Pro into sophisticated recording and live sound environments while preserving the convenience of a pedalboard format.

Because the DITOS module occupies the battery compartment, this version is designed for use with a standard center-negative DC power supply.

Why We Like It

The DITOS version transforms the STELLA Pro into far more than a premium compressor pedal. It becomes a professional front-end for live and studio rigs, capable of delivering beautifully controlled dynamics directly to a recording interface or mixing console with the added warmth and character of a transformer-balanced output. For players who frequently record or perform direct, this is the ultimate version of the STELLA Pro.
