The Electro Harmonix Pico Platform pedal is a powerful and flexible studio-style compressor/limiter enclosed in a pocket-sized package. Borrowing from the original, the Pico Platform condenses the comp section of the full-sized version for those looking to fit smooth, musical compression onto any pedalboard. Packed with 2 modes and hard/sort knee compression options, it is a perfect fit for sculpting your dynamics with professional precision.

Versatile Compression

You can use the EHX Pico Platform on practically any instrument for powerful control of your signal's volume and, of course, extended sustain on leads. Add subtle dynamic control to level out peaks and valleys in your signal, or give your sound a real squeeze for extra pop. The Pico Platform is extremely transparent with no tonal colouring, making it extremely versatile and easy to work into your existing setup.

All The Control You'll Ever Need!

The Pico Platform's control set is simple yet comprehensive. Use the Sustain control to adjust the compressor ratio or limiter threshold for a subtle or extreme effect. The addition of a Blend knob allows for adding seamless sustain while preserving attack and tone. Adjust the Attack control to set when the compressor activates after a transient. Use the Mode button to choose between compressor and limiter modes, and soft knee or hard knee compression curves for smoother or more dramatic compression styles.

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.
