Welcome back to ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com. Today we’re getting a grip on the PressuRizer, from Amptweaker. The PressuRizer is a compressor that doesn’t play fast and loose with your instrument’s natural attack. The goal of the PressuRizer’s design was to increase sustain without the unfortunate byproducts of a typical compressor circuit, but with a way to add those artifacts back in if your playing style relies on them. Starting with the front-end, the PressuRizer splits your clean signal into two paths, with the clean signal meeting up with the compressed signal at the end, forming studio-quality parallel compression. The compression circuit contains a host of innovations, including a custom-build sidechain detector that can be manipulated with the Bloom switch, giving you access to a natural swell of compression. The Tone knob is custom-tailored to the compression circuit, offering an active control on the compressed signal that either boosts treble or cuts midrange, which helps you match your guitar’s tone to the Bloom switch for optimal compressed tone. Activating the Limit switch engaged a FET booster after the Blend control, giving you hard, soft, or no limiting. This switch engages a gentle, rounded breakup that sounds just like a tube compressor. A separate boost mode is built into the switch as well. Since most players leave their compressors always on, holding the footswitch keeps it on, then the footswitch adds an adjustable boost circuit for a little extra gain when you need it. And just like all Amptweaker pedals, the PressuRizer is made right here in the States.
