Maestro Arcas Compressor Sustainer

The Maestro Arcas Compressor Sustainer: A Versatile Compression Workhorse
The Maestro Arcas Compressor Sustainer pedal is a versatile compression tool designed to meet the demands of any musical situation. Whether you're looking for transparent, light compression or tight, heavy compression, the Arcas delivers with ease. This all-analog pedal allows for precise control over your sound, with intuitive settings that make it easy to dial in the perfect level of compression and sustain for your playing style. The two-position Mode toggle switch offers even more flexibility by adjusting how sensitive the pedal is to your pick attack, ensuring that you can adapt your tone to any genre or performance.
Transparent to Heavy Compression with Sustain Control
The Maestro Arcas offers two distinct compression modes: LO mode, which provides less sensitivity to pick attack for a smoother response, and HI mode, which makes the pedal more responsive to your playing dynamics for a punchier effect. The Sustain control allows you to set the amount of gain applied during compression, while the Attack knob adjusts how quickly the compression engages. The Level control lets you compensate for any volume loss caused by compression, ensuring that your sound remains balanced and clear.
Intuitive Controls for Easy Tone Shaping
The Maestro Arcas features a simple 3-knob control layout for quick and easy adjustments:

Sustain: Adjusts the amount of gain applied during compression, controlling how much sustain is added to your notes.
Attack: Sets how fast the compression engages, allowing for everything from slow, subtle compression to fast, aggressive clamping.
Level: Controls the output volume, ensuring that your compressed tone is balanced and consistent.

These controls make it easy to shape your sound, whether you're using the Arcas for subtle dynamic control or as a full-on sustain machine.
True Bypass Switching and All-Analog Circuitry
The Maestro Arcas uses true bypass switching, preserving your signal’s integrity when the pedal is not in use. The pedal’s LED bugle indicators light up in red, yellow, and blue when the effect is engaged, providing a clear visual indicator that the compressor is active. The all-analog signal path ensures warm, natural-sounding compression without any digital interference.
