Maestro Arcas | Compressor Sustainer Pedal

Maestro pedals have been shaping innovation and quality in tone since 1962, as the original founder of effects its safe to say that Maestro have secured their rightful place in Electric Guitar history. We are so excited to see this iconic brand return with new designs based on classic effects with added functionality and an eye-catching vibe!

The Maestro Arcas Compressor Sustainer pedal provides excellent versatility. It offers both transparent, light compression as well as heavy, tight compression. It delivers enough sustain and level compensation to become a go-to workhorse for any situation. This all-analog pedal boasts 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. The intuitive 3-knob control layout lets users quickly dial up the desired Sustain (amount of gain applied during compression), control the Attack (how fast the compression engages), and adjust the amount of gain compensation and the pedals overall output volume with the Level control. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when its on, so youll always know when the effect is active.
