Ah, poor Polyend Press (a Chase Bliss Clean thread)

Polyend released their Press pedal yesterday. Now Chase Bliss ruins their party, I suspect.

Clean began its life as a question: Can clean be as fun as dirty?

Developed slowly and through a variety of experiments, Clean explores the wild side of compression and brings the interactivity of distortion circuits to a clean signal. Clean is also a very sophisticated compressor, packed with features rarely found outside the studio. Each stereo channel includes both a compressor and a limiter, for two stages of the most natural and musical compression possible.

Some other handy things:

- Adaptive attack and release that adjust to your playing
- A sidechain input for syncing with external instruments
- Emphasis filters for cassette-style noise reduction
- A noise gate for removing hum and unwanted noise

Two stages of compression, 100% analog, and true stereo. Everything you need to complete your sound. Clean is a studio-grade compressor you can turn on its head and push beyond the expected. It was built to bring the exploratory energy of distortion to the clean performer, from the touch sensitivity of an overdrive to the unwieldy response of a fuzz. Tasteful, musical nuance, tied to your hands.Some of what you can do:

- Go beyond compression into tube-like sag
- Interact with a dynamic EQ that responds to your playing
- Use physical modeling to introduce organic instability
- Explore a softer world with two swell modes

Now, we're talking!
 
CB did a good job on their release video. Got some cool sounds out of it. I agree about the dip switches though - that's a lot. I don't know anything about the press.

Selling a compressor that also makes cool sounds seems like a smart business move. Reading things on the internet will definitely make you curious about compressors, but then all the comments about "how do I tell if it's on?" will make you second guess investing in one.
