“The compressor we always wanted but couldn’t find”: Polyend Press is stereo analogue hardware with the convenience of a plugin

We got our first look at Polyend’s Press compressor at Superbooth back in May, but now the Polish brand is ready to launch its debut effect out into the world for real.

Inspired by vintage rack units, Press is an all-analogue stereo compressor sold in a stompbox format. Its dynamics circuits are – according to its creator – designed for ‘premium’ sound quality with “extremely high headroom and an ultra-low noise floor.”
