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.

Stereo In/Out

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.

Full Analog circuitry

Transparent analog compression with a pristine response and high headroom.

Parallel compression

Dial back the mix for parallel compression without worrying about the phase issues of digital devices.

Variable Ratio up to Limiting

Control the compressor’s ratio from subtle 2:1 compression up to limiting levels.

Tilt EQ

A single knob to boost highs and cut lows or boost lows and cut highs, active on the wet signal only for added versatility.

Sidechain High and Low Pass Filters

Shape and filter the signal triggering the compressor without altering the dry tone for unparalleled control.

Internal or External 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.

Compact aluminium body

Sturdy all-aluminium construction (including the knobs), in a small, portable form factor.

Brand

Polyend

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Polyend is represented by Multi-Effects Pedals and Compressor Pedals. Current listings include Step Drum Machine, Press Stereo Compressor and Endless User-Defined Stompbox. That makes the range relevant to players looking for modelling, direct rigs and multi-effects. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Compressor Pedals

Compressor pedals reduce dynamic range by turning louder peaks down and raising or sustaining the average level. Attack and release determine whether the pick transient remains sharp or is softened; ratio, threshold, blend and output gain decide whether the result is discreet control or an obvious effect. Compression can even out clean picking, add sustain before an overdrive, tighten bass or provide a steady vocal signal, but it can also raise noise and reduce touch contrast. Check the controls and gain structure before placing one in a busy chain.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Digital

Digital products use conversion and processing to create, store or control the effect. This can provide presets, complex routing, repeatable algorithms, USB, MIDI and firmware features, but conversion, latency, power requirements and clocking depend on the design. Check the input and output levels, sample or impulse-response support, bypass behaviour and current draw when combining a digital unit with analogue pedals or a direct recording setup.

Stereo

Stereo products provide separate left and right audio paths, which may widen modulation, preserve independent delays or route a pedalboard into two amplifiers or a mixer. Input and output behaviour is not always symmetrical: some units sum a stereo input, while others create stereo from a mono source. Check whether the effect collapses safely to mono, how the dry signal is routed, the socket format and the destination’s panning and phase requirements.
