NOISE GATE (selected by [C]/[D] buttons)
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This
effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.

[2]
COMPRESSOR (selected by [C]/[D] buttons)
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level.
This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively
"compresses" the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer. For a maximum compression
effect, set RATIO to a high setting and adjust the OUT parameter for optimum volume.
