The result is a tool that allows for a wide range of sounds from subtly adding sustain to getting the “quack”...
  • Page 3 10dB of input signal, etc. Attack controls how quickly the gain reduction will begin after a signal has crossed the threshold. Release controls how long it takes for the compressor to return to its initial level after the signal drops below the threshold.
  • Page 4 Higher levels will result in more compression. attack: controls how quickly the compressor will react to an incoming signal. Attack time increases as you turn the knob clockwise. Range: 50us - 50ms sidechain: used to alter the signal going to the gain reduction control circuit.
  • Page 5 LED is shining, the compressor e ect is applied to the signal. When o , the compressor is being bypassed (true bypass).
  • Page 6 Quickstart Added Control: Here’s a good starting point for adding consistency and sustain to your playing while retaining dynamics.
