The Hyper Luminal Compressor features the first hybrid design in a compressor pedal: an analog VCA controlled by a digital side-chain allowed Darkglass to capture and include the characters of some of the most legendary compressors in history while keeping the signal path completely analog.

Blend
Mixes the clean and effected signals. Unlike our distortions, it is placed before the Output control. So the Hyper Luminal can also be used as a transparent booster with this control at minimum.

Time
Sets the time constants (Attack and Release). You can use the Darkglass Suite to fine tune and custom map the time constants, you can also assign different behaviours for each Mode.

Output
Sets the overall output volume of the unit.

Compression
Sets the overall amount of compression. This control also affects the internal makeup gain.

Ratio
Adjusts the amount of compression.

Mode
Selects the unit’s Mode (BUS, FET, or SYM).

Dimensions
Width: 75 mm / 3″
Length: 111 mm/ 4¼″
Height: 43 mm / 1¾″
Weight: 250 g / 0.55 lb
