Darkglass Hyper Luminal Compressor

The pedal ships with 3 selectable models (more to be added): BUS: Modeled after the Solid State Logic®  Bus Compressor. FET: Inspired by the legendary 1176®.

SYM: Our, now discontinued Super Symmetry, transcends in the digital realm.

But  that  is not  all! Instead  of using  mechanical  switches (because  let's face  it, switches   are  boring),  to select  the compression Ratio and Mode we implemented touch-through-metal sensors.

The sensors in the Hyper Luminal Compressor detect when and where the   chassis   is  touched   and   changes   parameters accordingly:  this technology  not  only  provides  a  very  new, intimate and pleasant user experience, setting it apart from any other pedal in the market, but it does so while  operating with extreme  consistency  and,  unlike  mechanical  switches,  it is virtually unbreakable.

The pedal also features a gorgeous 10-LED gain reduction meter and four knobs:

Blend: Mixes the clean and effected signals.

Time: Sets the time constants (Attack and Release). Fine tuning and mapping can be done through the Darkglass Suite, so users can assign different constants to each model.

Compression: Sets the amount of compression.

Level: Sets the overall output volume of the unit.

As for I/O the hyper Luminal Compressor features:

• Input: 1/4" connector for the instrument.
• Output: 1/4" connector for the amplifier  or next effect in the chain.
• 9VDC: Center negative, 250mA,  9VDC only. The Hyper Luminal doubles  the  operation   voltage   internally   to 18V   for extra headroom.
• USB: A Micro USB B connector  allows  you to connect the pedal to PC/Mac  to load  upcoming  compressor  models,  set  Time settings and other parameters.
