Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters
ACS (Advanced Compressor)
This is an effect that produces a long sustain by evening out
the volume level of the input signal. You can also use it as a
"limiter" to suppress only the sound peaks and prevent
distortion.

Type
Selects the compressor type.
This selects a stereo compressor.
Stereo Comp
BOSS Comp
This models a BOSS CS-3.
This models a MXR DynaComp.
D-Comp
Sustain
Adjusts the range (time) over which low-level signals are
boosted. Larger values will result in longer sustain.
Attack
Adjusts the strength of the picking attack. Larger values will
result in a sharper attack, creating a more clearly defined
sound.
Tone
Adjusts the tone.
Level
Adjusts the volume.

LM (Limiter)
The limiter attenuates loud input levels to prevent distortion.

Vtg Rack U
Attack
Adjusts the strength of the picking attack when the strings
are played. Higher values result in s sharper attack, creating
a more clearly defined sound.
Threshold
Adjust this as appropriate for the input signal from your
guitar. When the input signal level exceeds this threshold
level, limiting will be applied.
Ratio
This selects the compression ratio used with signals in excess
of the threshold level.
Release
This adjusts the time from when the signal level drops below
the threshold until when limiting is removed.
Tone
Adjusts the tone.
Level
Adjusts the volume.
