As effective in the studio as it is in your guitar chain, the Electro-Harmonix Platform stereo compressor boasts enough tone-shaping power to replace a handful of pedals on your board. The stereo compression circuit is studio quality, making it a valuable piece of outboard gear. But put it in your guitar rig, and you’re instantly nailing squashed chicken pickin’ tones, harmonically rich sustain, and everything else between. Add in the Platform’s onboard overdrive and swell effects, and you have an all-in-one tonal solution.
Versatile compression
The EHX Platform blurs the line between guitar and studio compression. Controls for Volume, Attack, Release, and Sustain dial in the perfect blend of squash and clarity to help your track pop through the mix with a finished sheen. You’ll also find two buttons for Knee and Limiter that tune the Platform’s character for a more or less aggressive reaction. And its true stereo signal path ensures the pedal is able to adapt flawlessly to any guitar or recording rig.
Onboard overdrive
Guitarists have been smoothing out their overdriven guitar tones with compressors for decades. And thanks to the Platform’s onboard dirt, you’ll be able to achieve those thick, sustaining tones with a single pedal. The overdrive boasts the full complement of Volume, Tone, and Drive controls to shape your sound. And the Drive is also individually footswitchable, allowing you to access your dirtier tones on the fly.
String instrument and synth-like tones
A special treat waits under the Platform’s Swell control. Turning it up, you’ll dial out much of your note’s original attack, attaining a smooth volume swell that is fantastic for copying stringed-instrument and synth-like tones. Guitarists found that it sounds every bit as good with or without drive, opening up even more tonal variety.
