Electro-Harmonix is really into compression right now: after announcing the Tone Corset earlier this month, the New York effects co has launched the Platform stereo compressor pedal.
Designed for use in studio environments as well as on pedalboards, the Platform offers a compressor/limiter and overdrive section.
Controls include volume, attack, release and sustain, plus push-buttons for hard or soft knee and limiter. The footswitchable overdrive section features controls for volume, tone and drive, while swell is controlled by a dedicated knob for gradual fade-ins.
Eight LEDs display the compressor’s gain reduction in realtime, too.
The Platform is available from mid-July for £148/$159 - EHX has more.
“This golden gain machine covers the entire spectrum from gritty boost through to full-on fuzz”: Great Eastern FX’s Focus Fuzz Deluxe has got boost, drive, octave, fuzz... everything going on
“This is the only tremolo pedal in the world that lets you plot your own waveform shapes using controls you first got to grips with as a child”: SoundLad Sketchy review
