Maestro’s Arcas compressor and sustainer is a no-nonsense little stompbox, packed to the brim with rich all-analog compression might. The Arcas boasts a formidable sonic range, taking you from a light smoothing over to slammed chicken pickin’ clack with a simple sweep of a knob or two. Plus, a 2-way Hi/Lo switch cranks up the sonic flexibility further by allowing you to dial in the level at which the pedal starts to squash your signal — perfect for guitarists who prefer playing with a wide dynamic range. A vintage-style outfit rounds out the Arcas with a touch of ’60s flair, complete with an old-school slanted enclosure, original-era visuals, and Maestro's signature 3-LED bugle indicator light.
Set your sensitivity
The Arca’s 2-way sensitivity switch features Hi and Lo settings to fine-tune the level at which the compressor becomes active. The Hi/Lo switch offers a dramatically different playing experience in either position, allowing you to optimize the level of compression for your personal picking dynamics. This enables guitarists to squeeze down their sound with a more natural feel, and it's especially useful if you’re playing a setlist with songs that dramatically vary in intensity.
Simple 3-knob layout
If you’re chasing instant sonic gratification, then the Maestro Arca’s simple 3-knob layout provides effortless tone shaping with the utmost efficiency. Any compression aficionado is sure to find that sustain, attack, and level knobs familiar — you'll be able to go from subtle smoothing to squashed country licks and punchy ’80-style cleans.
