DIRECT IN, Instrument input. This 1/4 inch input jack is for use with guitars, keyboards, or any other instrument. When a plug is inserted the CORE will automatically switch to the DI input. The Mic/Line switch must be set to the Line position to activate the DI. -
Page 5: Elop ® Compressor & Equalizer
ELOP COMPRESSOR ® The ELOP® Compressor utilizes our famous circuit topology as found in the VOXBOX®, and is also similar to the ELOP® and SLAM limiters. The COMPRESSION (Threshold) control determines at what level the compressor begins to act. Clockwise rotation makes the compressor reduce the signal. -

The LED indicator should turn OFF. Note 1: if you do not have enough output level coming from your oscillator, then increase the signal level coming into the CORE by adjusting the INPUT LEVEL ATTENUATOR control. Bring up the input level attenuator until you have a reading of +21dBu at the output XLR “OP2”.
