All arounder

Discodude 30.08.2021

It sits on a send/return channel in my ableton rig.
I've been experimenting with loops drums synths so far
and it shines in every possible thing you throw at it.
Great external piece for adding subtle drive to sterile digital sounds!

The King Platform

Chemasound 22.08.2017

It fulfills all the unimaginable expectations of any creator, both in studio and in any live event.

PROS:
Every parameter is perfect.

CONS:
1. For me, the switches are a little hard when you push them. Maybe EH would have to work on more docile, quiet, and manageable switches. This is especially noticeable when recording with external amplifiers because the recording noise is strained through the microphone when the switch is pressed.

2. The 4 stars is because, according to my experience within a few hours of working with this pedal, this is the only fault that can be found in it.

As for the rest, Platform is the king of my studio and pedalboard.

unknown gem of a pedal

robin0112358 03.01.2026

A stereo compressor is not the easiest pedal to find. The EHX Platform has large tactile knobs, useful LED indicators, and a wonderful sonic profile that can scrunch your sound into a smaller volume, adding all sorts of lovely tonalities. It can take the place of an analogue tape emulator. I bought this instead of the Elektron Analog Heat at six times the price. Amazing for drum machines!

Brilliant when im trying to tame and stretch a Big muff pedal. Can be set to very extreme levels of compression to almost synth levels, more than, you will ever need on a guitar, One compressor to rule them all!!
