Interesting... Polyend are better known for their Tracker and Play groove box things with pads, but they have released a compressor pedal, Press, that looks fully featured.

Being stereo, I think it's aimed at keyboard players/synthesists, but I can't see why it wouldn't work for bass too. Input works at instrument level at 1 Mohm impedance.

It has all the knobs we bass players like, including both high and low pass filters in the sidechain and a tilt EQ like the Diamond Bass Compressor. Parallel compression with a mix knob. Separate attack and release. LED meters. External sidechain. Looks quite shecksy.

Press • Polyend





The only info missing is whether this is a true stereo compressor with separate sidechains that can be linked, or if it's just a mono sidechain. I'm guessing mono as there is a single sidechain input and footswitch.

No vids with bass yet. $399 :oops:
