Pico Platform

The Pico Platform is a mono compressor/limiter pedal that takes the compression section of the larger Stereo Platform and fits it into a very small enclosure. It is built around a digital circuit and is described as transparent, adding no tonal coloring, so it can be used for leveling peaks, adding sustain on lead lines, or squeezing a signal for extra pop.

A Type button switches between Compressor and Limiter modes and also selects a Soft Knee or Hard Knee compression curve; the LED color shows which mode is active (green for Compressor, orange for Limiter). The Sustain knob sets the compression ratio in Compressor mode or lowers the threshold in Limiter mode. Attack sets how quickly the effect responds once the signal reaches the threshold, from fast to slow. Blend mixes dry and wet signal so sustain can be added while keeping the original attack and tone, and Volume sets the output level.

The pedal has one input jack and one output jack, a footswitch for engaging the effect with buffered bypass, and a 9V power jack. A power adapter is included.
