Blend The Blend control changes what the player hears when the pedal is active. In fully counterclockwise position, it provides the original unaffected guitar signal. In fully clockwise position, it provides the output of the compression engine only. When set to noon, it delivers a 50/50 mix of the input signal and the compressed signal.
Jewel Indicator The Jewel Indicator serves two purposes: to indicate when the effect is active and to show when gain reduction (compression) is occurring. This is accomplished with two actual LEDs in one housing—white for bypass and red for gain reduction. When both are on, the resulting color is pink.
