Page 6: Phase Switch
Compression (continued) To gently smooth out your instrument’s all-around response, set the Compression between 8:00 and 11:00. For more punch set the Compression between 1:00 and :00. This is especially effective for tumbao and walking bass styles. For heavy compression with lots of sustain set the Compression knob between :00 and 5:00 (for best results set the Input Gain as high as possible without lighting the red Clip light). - Page 7 Fighting Feedback 1. Start with the Phase switch in the left position and the Depth control at 5:00. . Turn your amp or PA up so that it is on the verge of feedback. . Flip the Phase switch back and forth until you find the position that sounds good and doesn’t feed back from open G and above (mid-bass feedback).
