Product Ref: 176960
Packed into the Darkglass Hyper Luminal Compressor's versatile shell are three selectable modes including Bus, Fet and Sym. Bus offers the renowned 80s punchy compression sound, Fet provides an energetic and overall bright effect, and Sym brings Darkglass' own Super Symmetry model of an old-school compressor with a modern twist. The first of its kind design means this modelling tech never sounds tinny or harsh; an analog VCA controlled by a digital side-chain keeps your signal fully-analog along with all transients of your tone, while the digital layer is applied alongside, delivering the best of both worlds.
Once the mode has been selected, there are an infinite number of tonal possibilities available with the controls. The four control knobs include blend, time, compression and level, which radically alter the parameters of the compressor effect. Blend controls the mix of the dry signal with the affected signal, whilst Time sets the attack and release of the compression, Level sets the overall output and Compression controls the amount and intensity of the effect. Use this versatile pedal to chisel your ultimate compression sound with a rich analog sound quality- an audiophile's dream.
