PressuRizer - Compressor/Boost
The Amptweaker PressuRizer is a captivating compressor/boost pedal that redefines the possibilities of sustain and attack. Engineered to answer the age-old plea for "sustain without compression," this innovative device employs parallel studio-grade compression with a wet/dry blend, along with some ingenious side-chain variations. The PressuRizer's Bloom switch offers a unique twist, rewiring the side-chain detector to produce a dynamic, blooming compression effect. When blended with the dry signal, the result starts off sounding natural, then gradually swells and expands like a vintage Les Paul singing through a cranked amp. Complementing this lush compression is the Tone control, which sculpts only the compressed signal, allowing you to boost highs for enhanced clarity or scoop mids for a more rounded, singing tone that seamlessly integrates with the dry path. But the PressuRizer isn't just about compression - it also packs a powerful FET limiter/booster that can deliver a slightly broken-up, output-tube-like tone. Switchable between Soft, Hard, and Off, this versatile limiter adds a whole new dimension to your sound. The clever two-step footswitch offers true bypass on/off, but can also be held down to lock the compressor in place. Tapping the switch engages a boost knob on the side, giving you a one-two punch with a single button. Whether you're a blues player seeking creamy sustain, a metal shredder hunting for tight, articulate compression, or a versatile guitarist craving a Swiss Army knife of tone-shaping tools, the Amptweaker PressuRizer is a must-try pedal that will expand the horizons of your sound.
