If OverEasy is disabled, this led indicates that the signal is above the level set by the Compressor Threshold control and that compression is occuring. - Page 8 ATTACK control: This control sets the amount of time it takes the 566 to begin compressing a signal once the detector has sensed a signal above the threshold. The attack range is from 3 dB/msec for a tighter and more noticeable compression effect with very little overshoot to .04 dB/msec for a more gradual compres-...

The Sidechain in and out connectors on the 566 rear panel allow external processing of the CompressorÕs detector signal. This switch has no effect if there is nothing plugged into the Sidechain loop even though the switch will light when pressed.
- Page 10 This configures the meter to show the output signal level. This works in conjunction with the output level assignment switch on the back of the 566. When the rear switch is set to +4 dBu, a meter read- ing of 0 VU corresponds to +4 dBu output. When the rear switch is set to -10 dBV, a meter reading of 0 VU corresponds to -10 dBV output.
