The Gibson Maestro MOCACSP Arcas Compressor Sustainer pedal is a powerful and versatile tool designed to give you full control over your guitar’s dynamic range. With both transparent light compression and tight heavy compression options, this pedal allows you to shape your tone with precision. Its two-position mode toggle switch lets you adjust the sensitivity to pick attack, offering a smooth or more aggressive compression response. The intuitive 3-knob control layout—Sustain, Attack, and Level—ensures easy adjustments for different playing styles and musical genres.

Versatile Compression Modes: The Maestro Arcas Compressor Sustainer features a two-position Mode toggle switch that allows you to choose between LO and HI modes. In LO mode, the pedal is less sensitive to pick attack, providing a smoother, more transparent compression. In HI mode, the pedal is more sensitive, offering tighter compression that enhances dynamics and sustain.

Transparent and Heavy Compression: This all-analog pedal offers a broad range of compression, from subtle, transparent sustain to more aggressive, tight compression. Whether you’re looking for a light touch to smooth out your playing or a powerful compression effect to emphasize attack, this pedal can handle it.

3-Knob Control Layout: The intuitive control layout consists of three knobs: Sustain, Attack, and Level. The Sustain knob determines how much gain is applied during compression, allowing you to control the length of sustain. The Attack knob adjusts how quickly the compression engages, shaping the response to your playing style. The Level knob controls the output volume, compensating for gain loss during compression.

True Bypass Footswitch with LED Indicators: The pedal features a true bypass footswitch, ensuring that your signal remains uncolored when the effect is off. When activated, the footswitch triggers LED lights that illuminate the Maestro logo, providing a clear visual indicator of when the pedal is engaged.

All-Analog Signal Processing: The Arcas Compressor Sustainer pedal uses all-analog signal processing, preserving the warmth and character of your tone while adding the necessary compression to enhance your sound.
