PRESS ANALOG STEREO COMPRESSOR
Press is a fully analog stereo compressor with features typically found only in professional studio gear but with additional controls used in modern VSTs blending the tight, natural response of classic analog rack units with additional controls and features that cannot be found in other pedals.
MAIN FEATURES
Required to be first in your signal chain no longer, use Press as a finalizing compressor and free yourself from the limits of mono compression.
Transparent analog compression with a pristine response and high headroom.
Dial back the mix for parallel compression without worrying about the phase issues of digital devices.
up to Limiting
Control the compressor’s ratio from subtle 2:1 compression up to limiting levels.
A single knob to boost highs and cut lows or boost lows and cut highs, active on the wet signal only for added versatility.
High and Low Pass Filters
Shape and filter the signal triggering the compressor without altering the dry tone for unparalleled control.
Sidechain
Switch between triggering the gain reduction circuit via the signal passing through the compressor or an external stereo source via the dedicated stomp-switch.
Sturdy all-aluminum construction (including the knobs), in a small, portable form factor.
Studio-class
Quality was the priority when designing Press. The Press is a transparent VCA compressor that preserves your tone without any unwanted coloration. Press enhances your sound whether you are polishing a studio mix or adding some control to a live performance.
Versatile
The Press packs all the controls needed to get the right compressor settings in any scenario from limiting to subtle parallel compression. Separate attack and release, threshold and ratio controls and side chain highpass and lowpass filters allow for precise control. Perfect for guitars, synths or drum machines, Press is the ideal tool for musicians and producers who need both flexibility and power.
Glue & Master
Press is the ultimate end of chain compressor to glue your mix, pedalboard or drum buss together. With TRS stereo I/O and tight, polished compression that can be controlled with separate attack and release knobs, the press is perfect as an end of chain mastering device. Control peaky reverb tails, noisy synths, or smooth out the volume from all your effects.
Unique Sidechain
Press features unique stereo Sidechain control that cannot be found in any other analog compressor pedal. The High and Low pass filters work on either the Stereo input or the external stereo sidechain thru. This allows for precise control of the sound triggering the sidechain by stopping problem frequencies from triggering the gain reduction circuit. Use the LPF to filter out the high end of a bass guitar or the HPF to remove the boom from a kick drum to sculpt your sound in ways that were not possible in analog pedals before.
