Congratulations on purchasing the Electro-Harmonix Platform Stereo
Compressor/Limiter. The Platform presents you with a versatile and powerful
studio-quality compressor enclosed in a stompbox-sized package. Use the
Platform's compressor/limiter on any instrument—such as guitar, bass or
keyboards—for precise and powerful control of your signal's volume. Engage the
Drive and Swell functions to further tailor and enhance your sound. Whether
you're on stage, in the studio, putting together a podcast or creating your next
YouTube masterpiece, the Platform will help you get the job done.
WARNING: Your Platform comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200BI
power supply (same as used by Boss
requires 125mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Use of the wrong adapter or a plug
with the wrong polarity may damage your Platform and void the warranty.

Page 2: Compressor Mode
In compressor mode, the Platform’s threshold level is fixed at a constant -35dB. In practical terms, compression ratio determines how much the compressor squashes the signal level and thus how much it levels out dynamics. The higher the ratio, the more it reduces the peaks and valleys in your signal level to yield a more consistent output volume. -
Page 3: Release Knob
RELEASE Knob While the compressor/limiter is acting on the signal, the input may drop below the threshold setting and cause the compressor to cease working on the signal. The compressor does not stop working immediately, though. Rather, it gradually stops over a period of time that is set by the RELEASE knob. As you turn this release knob clockwise, time increases, or slows. -
Page 4: Limiter Button
The last state of the DRIVE footswitch is recalled upon power-up, as with the KNEE and LIMITER buttons. NOTE: The Platform must be in effect mode for Drive to be heard. The Drive section will not be heard if the pedal is in bypass mode. -

Page 6: Mono/Stereo Operation
MONO/STEREO OPERATION MONO IN & OUT: Left In -> Left Out: when using the Platform in mono, connect to the Left Input and Left Output. MONO IN, STEREO OUT: Left In -> Left Out & Right Out: same connections as mono in and out but add the Right Output. The Right output signal will be identical to the Left Output both in effect and bypass modes. -
