The PLATFORM is a sophisticated professional stereo compressor/limiter that includes volume swell, tape reverse, and overdrive. It is powerful for studio or post-production work, yet compact enough to be used live!
The Platform compressor/limiter allows the user to precisely fine-tune their instrument's dynamics and provides controls for Volume, Attack, Release, and Sustain, as well as push-buttons for Hard or Soft Knee and Limiter. Its footswitchable overdrive section adds to the pedal's versatility with dedicated controls for Volume, Tone, and Drive. Swell is controlled by a dedicated knob. Turning it clockwise increases the swell from zero and makes notes fade in more gradually.
The Platform is equipped for true stereo operation and can be used as mono in and out, mono in and stereo out, or stereo in and stereo out. The pedal features an eight-LED, three-color bar graph array that displays the compressor’s actual gain reduction in real time; it acts as the opposite of a VU meter.
