Determines the level of compressor/preamp gain. The more the compressor gain control is increased the more
2
compression it gives. The resulting effect is that the volume level heard does not change so much with playing weight. This
has several benefits; picking and full on chords will be heard at similar levels; excessive low frequencies will be reduced giving
an apparent brighter & punchier sound; uncontrolled low frequency feedback will be reduced and increased sustain on single
notes can be obtained. There are two LEDs associated with the compressor, one showing the compressor is switched on
this will illuminate whether the compressor is physically active or not. The active LED
Compressor is working and compressing the signal.
The pad switch allows you to reduce (or pad down) the input level from a guitar with an active pickup system, or a

particularly loud passive pickup to prevent the guitar from overloading the preamplifier of the A1.

Switch in to activate the onboard compressor, this compresses the input signal giving a punchier sound. The amount of

compression is controlled by
about 5-6 on the control. It is possible to have the compressor engaged but it only be active during certain periods of playing
- typically the most dynamic sections.

Lights when the compressor is switched in ready for operation.
