Polyend PRESS COMP Overview

Press Analog Stereo Compressor
Achieve studio-class compression in a compact pedal loaded with modern VST-style controls with the Press from Polyend, an analog VCA compressor pedal with Mix control for parallel compression and a versatile internal or external side-chain design. With variable Ratio control from 2:1 to hard limiting, Press can be a vital sonic tool in your kit.

Along with typical compression controls like Attack, Release, and Threshold, you get a tilt EQ for simple one-knob filtering of the wet signal, a 0 to 30 dB make-up gain control, and separate side-chain high-pass (20 Hz to 1 kHz) and low-pass filter (100 Hz to 20 kHz) controls, useful for shaping and filtering trigger signals without affecting your dry tone. The Press sports stereo 1/4" TRS input and output with selectable input level (Hi-Z or line), along with with 3.5mm TRS side-chain input and Thru output. An LED meter displays the amount of gain reduction (-1 to -30 dB) and can be read in any lighting environment. And with a durable and stylish compact aluminum body, the Press is designed to meet the most demanding needs of modern professional musicians.

Studio Class
Quality was the priority when designing Press. The Press is a transparent VCA compressor that preserves your tone without unwanted coloration. Press enhances your sound, whether you are polishing a studio mix or adding some control to a live performance.
Versatile
The Press packs all the controls needed to get the right compressor settings in any scenario from limiting to subtle parallel compression. Separate attack, release, threshold, and ratio controls are provided, side-chain, and high-pass and low-pass filters for precise control. Perfect for guitars, synths, or drum machines, Press is the ideal tool for musicians and producers who need both flexibility and power.
Glue and Master
Press is the ultimate end-of-chain compressor to glue your mix, pedalboard, or drum bus together. With TRS stereo I/O and tight, polished compression that can be controlled with separate attack and release knobs, the press is perfect as a mastering device at the end of your signal chain. Control peaky reverb tails, noisy synths, or smooth out the volume from all your effects.
Unique Side-Chain
Press features unique stereo side-chain control that cannot be found in any other analog compressor pedal. The high- and low-pass filters work on either the Stereo input or the external stereo side-chain thru.

This allows for precise control of the frequency of the sound that is used to trigger the side-chain for 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 unique ways.
