Deactivating Gain Stage Mode
Gain Stage Mode can be deactivated with any of these methods:
• Press and hold Arrow's top panel knob for at least two seconds
(Arrow must be in Input mode by pressing the PREAMP button at least once)
• Disable the Unison plug-in via the plug-in editor window within Console
• Disable the Unison plug-in via the on/off parameter within the plug-in interface
• Remove the Unison plug-in from Console's Unison insert
• Change the selected channel by pressing the PREAMP switch on Arrow's top panel
When Gain Stage Mode is deactivated, the following changes occur:
• The gain stage select function (pushing the top panel hardware knob) reverts to
the channel select function
• The channel selection indicator on Arrow's top panel stops flashing
• If a gain stage other than the first gain stage was being controlled, Arrow's knob
reverts to control of the first gain stage of the Unison plug-in, and the level
indicator color reverts to orange

Note: Unlike Arrow's top panel knob, Console's preamp gain control only adjusts
the first gain stage of any Unison plug-in when Arrow is in Gain Stage Mode. To
adjust other gain stages from within Console, use Arrow's gain knob or the Unison
plug-in interface.
Gain Stage Colors
The gain stage being controlled is indicated by unique
Arrow's top panel and within the Unison plug-in's interface.
The color of the level indicator on Arrow's top panel (the LED ring around the knob)
changes with each gain stage, and the matching color dot within the Unison plug-in's
interface moves to the target gain parameter being controlled.
The gain stages available for control, and their associated colors, are:
• Orange – Gain stage one; the Gain parameter
• Amber – Gain stage two; the Level parameter
• Green – Gain stage three, the clean (non-modeled) output control
Note: Some Unison plug-ins have only two gain stages.
