New Darkglass Compressor: The Hyper Luminal Hybrid Compressor

Oh nice, can you share them for all three modes?

even better... @Darkglass this seems like a candidate for inclusion in a table somewhere on your website; as you make updates and add new models you could keep the info current. Would also make sense to have the values in the app used for programming the pedal... full disclosure; I don't (yet) own a HL but following with great interest.

Hey guys,

Quick question. I've had a HL that I'd been using problem free with my Noble powering it. In the past week or so I've had some issues - at one gig it sounded like it was starving for power, and the other night it just was basically a loud white noise type sound when plugged in. I've sent a message to support, who are working on it - but just checking in here to see if anyone else had any issues with the unit.

I love the tones - just hoping to get the power stuff worked out.

Great and just when I decided I was so happy with the FEA DECL...

John, have you had a chance to try the FEA compressors?
BTW, congrats on the nice mention in Vintage Guitar Magazine from Rusty; hard to top nice words from Sir Paul's guitar player

I really like the Hyper Luminals, still absolutely one of my favorite pedals I own. My only nitpick is that is has a fairly high power requirement, which can be annoying to try and work around with my DC5 if I need the other 300 mA outputs for something else.

Not familiar with a Noble...but make sure the HL is on an isolated output with at least 250ma. When I got my first HL (it has the compressors on both of my boards!) I wasn't impressed at all, then I realized it was on a 100ma output. Gave it the right juice and the stars aligned :)

Yeah - it worked great for about a month or so. I don't think it's a matter of amount of ma to the pedal, and Darkglass support is shipping out a new one - so no complaints there!

Anyone else setting the LPF running on max (500hz)? Factory settings sounded amazing, then I upped it to 120 and mind was blown. As I've had the HL for a while now I've been upping the side chain hpf, until I hit 500. Sounds great!

Edit:
- Time is up fully clockwise (settings set to inverse). Blend is around 3 and compression 2:30

For those who wonder - my review on this pedal. It is not only an audio review but also I've tried to make visual representation on how this amazing compressor works. Also played around with Darkglass Suite in second part of video.

Cool review! I like the playing over talking + the soundwave visual, I've never seen that before in a review video
