The Farfisa Compact line launched since 1963 includes the Mini-Compact, the Compact, the Compact Deluxe and the Compact Duo. There are 3 versions of the Mini-Compact with a model number on their ID plates list it as Mod. MC/1 or 2 or 3 = MINICOMPACT. The Minis circuitry is very similar to the regular Compacts, and they can achieve pretty much the same palette of sounds as their larger brethren. 

The Minis feature the famous Multi-Tone Booster and Knee Lever. The Knee Lever performs the dual function of Booster level and Volume control, even with the Booster tabs switched on. With the lever in normal position, the volume is very low. When plugged in, the pedal performs normal volume control functions, freeing the lever to concentrate on its more natural function of adding in the Multi-Tone voices. The MC/1 sports three voices in the ranks 16', 8' and 4', plus the Multi-Tone selector. The Mini-Compact has a volume pedal cable with a DIN plug on the end.
The effects are: Vibrato with slow/fast, light/heavy, off/on; Multi-Tone Booster off/on; Multi-Tone Voices: 16', 8', 4'; Voice Tabs: dolce, principale, strings.
