Darkglass HYL Hyper Luminal Hybrid Compressor
Interest FREE financing available at checkoutThe Hyper Luminal Compressor features the first hybrid design in a compressor pedal: an analog VCA controlled by a digital side-chain allowed us to capture and include the characters of some of the most legendary compressors in history while keeping the signal path completely analog.
Controls
Touch Sensors
Ratio
Adjust the amount of compression ratio.
- BUS: 2:1, 4:1, 10:1, 15:1
- FET: 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 20:1, “ALL IN”
- SYM: Based on different settings of the Super Symmetry · 115 GeV Compressor.
Mode
Selects between three different models:
- BUS: Modeled after the Solid State Logic ® Bus compressor.
- FET: Inspired by the legendary 1176®.
- SYM: Our discontinued Super Symmetry · 115 GeV Compressor.
Specifications
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″

Warning
The Hyper Luminal has a current draw of 250mA. Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug.
Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty.
