Arcas Compressor and Sustainer Pedal

The Maestro Arcas Compressor and Sustainer Pedal is a versatile all-analog effect pedal designed to provide transparent, light compression as well as heavy, tight compression. It features a two-position Mode toggle switch for increased sonic versatility. The LO mode is less sensitive to pick attack, while the HI mode is more sensitive to pick attack, allowing users to dial in the desired compression intensity.

The pedal is equipped with an intuitive 3-knob control layout, allowing users to adjust the Sustain (amount of gain applied during compression), Attack (how fast the compression engages), and Level (amount of gain compensation and overall output volume). The true bypass footswitch triggers LED indicators in the Maestro logo, providing visual confirmation of the pedal's active status.
