Auto Swell - Kemper Profiler Main Manual

Compressor (Cyan) 170

Squash
This gives you control over the dynamic behavior of the compression. At the center position the compressor will work
as you expect. When you turn "Squash" towards zero, the compressor will emphasize the first phase of the strings'
decay, resulting in less squash. When you turn it more to the right, the first phase of the strings´ decay gets
squashed, and the volume sags. You will notice that the compressor recovers from squashing when you let the
strings decay further - even boosting the sound a little, compared to when you hit the strings. Now, the compressor
becomes noticeable!
"Squash" does not change the compression ratio, as this is always infinite on vintage stomp compressors.

Auto Swell

Auto Swell mimics a volume pedal swell with every new strike of the strings. The parameter Swell Rate controls the
time of the swell, up to a maximum of 4 seconds.
While the Swell Rate controls the attack, a complimentary compressor is also included, to shape the decay of your
instrument once it has faded in. Use the Compressor parameter to control the intensity of the compression.
