Polyend Press Analog Stereo Compressor with VST Controls New | In Stock

Press is a fully analog stereo compressor that combines features usually exclusive to professional studio equipment with modern VST controls. It offers the tight, natural response of classic analog rack units while incorporating unique controls and features not found in other pedals. 

Press is an advanced compressor that works anywhere in the signal chain, from finalizing and limiting to adding control after gain staging or taming wild modulation and time-based effects. Dial in the exact amount of desired compression with Ratio and Threshold controls. Dedicated attack and release knobs can create aggressive punch or subtly tame peaks. Roll off the mix knob for New York-style compression to blend the dry and compressed signal, and add some color with the tilt control to shift the wet signal’s EQ balance across the low/high-frequency range.

Press offers unique stereo sidechain control that cannot be found in another 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. Even with all these features the press is a knob-per-function compressor designed to be simple to set up and operate.
