Description
The Electro-Harmonix Platform Stereo Compressor/Limiter Pedal is a compressor/limiter stompbox with a switchable overdrive section and an esoteric swell control. Its dynamic-section boasts controls typically reserved for studio pieces, such as hard/soft knee selectors, variable ratios (in Compressor mode), variable thresholds (in Limiter mode), and continuously-variable attack and release knobs. A Limiter switch is on hand for putting the squeeze on guitars, basses, and more, while the stereo operation is also a boon. With this pedal, you can route mono sources to mono destinations, split your mono sound to two different outputs, or run in true stereo. This makes the pedal suitable for keyboardists.
Indeed, these various attributes render the PLATFORM not only a useful tool for live musicians, but a fun processor for eccentric studio applications as well. For example, if you’re new to the world of outboard compression, you could try compressing the drums of your mix by running them from your interface, into this pedal, and back into your interface.
This pedal utilises stereo, buffered bypass circuitry, so that your tone is preserved across long cable runs and multiple pedal setups.
Key Features:
- Studio-quality compressor/limiter lets the user precisely tune dynamics regardless of the instrument or situation.
- The compressor/limiter includes a full complement of controls: Volume, Attack, Release and Sustain, plus pushbuttons for Hard or Soft Knee and the Limiter.
- Foot-switchable overdrive section adds versatility and includes dedicated controls for Volume, Tone and Drive. Together with the compressor, it produces a sound that’s saturated, smooth and slippery.
- Adjustable Swell function creates bowed, fade in and reverse effects.
- True stereo operation, can be used as Mono In and Out, Mono In and Stereo Out, or Stereo In and Stereo Out.
- Features a three colour, eight LED compression meter that displays the compressor’s actual gain reduction in real-time.
- Stereo buffered bypass that’s great for keeping your signal pristine with multiple pedal setups and long cable runs.
