GIBSON Maestro Arcas Compressor Sustain Effects Pedal

The Maestro Arcas Compressor Sustainer pedal is an all-analog pedal with a 3-knob control layout and two modes (LO/HI) for sonic versatility. It offers both subtle, transparent compression and heavy, tight compression with sustain and level compensation to adapt to any situation. The LO mode is less sensitive to pick attack, while the HI mode is more sensitive. The true bypass footswitch triggers LED lights when active, and controls for Sustain, Attack, and Level allow for quick and precise adjustments.
