OMPRESSION
Compression is an invaluable tool in the effect world. It can make or break any recording session or live performance.
Compression can take an incredible solo that just seems to be lacking somehow in a recording and bring so much life
to it, that it almost jumps off the tape.The way the compressor does this is by turning the signals down as they
become louder. After it makes the adjustment to the level, it boosts the overall signal back up.This effect can be used
to increase sustain and tighten up guitar signal.

With the Analog Wah, you get the best of both worlds.This Analog Wah is digitally controlled.What exactly does that
mean? This means that you get an dead-on accurate Wah emulation (you may have heard a certain Left-handed gui-
tarist at Woodstock with this same tone), which is controlled via the 2112's powerful processing. And the best thing
is, you no longer have to change batteries every 3 to 4 hours.

The days of having to sacrifice reliability for the great tonal characteristics of an old British or American tweed pre-
amps are now just a thing of the past with the tube preamp distortion section of the 2112.The great thing about the
2112 is, you are not limited to just one preamp sound setting.You can have anything from Vintage Tweed to a British
half, to a rectified full-on stack

Turns the Compression module On or bypasses the module.
Sets the minimum input level at which the compressor will engage. As THRESHOLD is low-
ered, the compressor engages at lower levels, causing the apparent output level to decrease.
Ranges in 1dB steps from -35dB to -5 dB.
Controls the amount of gain reduction for a given input signal level.This means that if
RATIO is set 2:1, every 2dB increase in input level results in a 1dB increase in compressor
output. Likewise, if RATIO is set to 5:1, every 5 dB increase in input level result in a 1 dB
output level increase.The higher the RATIO setting, the more compressed the output signal
becomes. Ranges from: 1.5:1 to infinity:1.
This parameter selects the attack time of the compressor.The attack times range are: slow,
Medium, Fast, and Very Fast
This parameter adjusts the overall output level of the compressor. Ranges in .5 dB incre-
ments. Range is from OFF to 20.0 dB.
This parameter turns the Analog Wah On or Bypasses the effect module.
Controls the pedal position of the Analog Wah effect module. Ranges from 1 to 128. *An
expression pedal must be assigned to this parameter in order for module to operate.
Selects which Wah type is to be used. Selections are:Toe heavy, Linear, and Heel Heavy.
