Don't be fooled by its name: This pedal transcends the compressor category!
The Platform from Electro-Harmonix is the first-class compressor you've been looking for. It adds resonance, clarity and all of the added 'snap' that you desire, with a wealth of controls for ultimate tweakability. It also offers stereo in and out, perfect for recording or running a more complex live rig!
The limiter function adds consistency and beautiful resonance to anything that you apply it to – popping lines, plucked chords or red hot lead lines, your playing will adopt a new lease of life!
More Than Just A Compressor!
The Platform's secret weapons, however, are a series of extra controls you might not expect. Attack, release, sustain, drive and swell give you a whole host of abstract sounds. We told you this was more than just a compressor!
Adjust the attack, release and swell controls to attain incredible cello-like sounds, or adjust the sustain and drive for a smooth but crispy lap steel sound. This pedal simply has to be heard to be believed!
