  • Fantastic Stereo Compressor Pedal

    The Electro Harmonix Platform Compressor is a fantastic stereo compressor pedal that works quite well. It runs on a standard 9-volt pedal power supply that it comes with. I used three of them for a live techno set I was doing. I had a Roland TR-8, Roland TB-3, and Novation Circuit all synced and running together. I had Platform Compressors on the stereo out of each piece of gear and they worked perfectly. They were very reliable but I did have a user error once which I will mention so you can avoid it. The Swell knob got bumped and my attack times began fading in completely throwing off the timing of the TB-3. I couldn't figure out what happened till after my set. So be careful to not hit this knob mid performance. To remedy this possibility, I used electrical tape to hold my knob settings in place after this incident and never had this issue again. The Platform Compressor is fantastic for the money and for the functionality. Stereo compression has never been more convenient with the Platform Compressor.

    I keep trying new compressor pedals, but I always come back to the Platform. I thought that pedals with blend controls might work better, but with the Attack, Release, Sustain, and Knee, I can get the clean, barely noticeable compression with lots of sustain that I need for jazz fingerstyle guitar. The Drive feature makes it just that much more useful on my pedalboard.

  • Neat OD with compression, good sustain.
