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.

Compressor Pedals

Compression reduces the difference between louder and quieter parts of the signal. It can restrain peaks, lift decaying notes and make picking feel more even, but strong settings also change the attack and add audible sustain or pumping. Threshold, ratio, attack, release and blend determine when gain reduction begins, how firmly it acts and how much natural transient detail remains.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Digital

Converts the signal or control process into numerical data for algorithmic processing. Digital designs can provide precise timing, long memory, complex routing and repeatable presets; sample rate, conversion, internal resolution and latency influence fidelity and response.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.
