Do you have a question about the PC-2A and is the answer not in the manual?

Page 2 The PC-2A is designed for flexibility , simplicity and (20,000G!), high temperature outstanding sound quality . Audiophile grade high altitude.
Page 3 This knob should release time for short signal bursts and a slower be set so that the PC-2A exhibits the desired amount release when the signal remains continuously above of compression or sustain. A good starting point is at the compression threshold.
Page 4 Footswitch utilises quiet true bypass switching to The larger the input signal, the lower the gain, reduce ‘pops’ or ‘thump’ when engaging the pedal resulting in a reduction of dynamic range or and ensure there is no loss of guitar tone when the compression of the signal.
