Input
Adjusts the compression input level. As you increase the input,
the compression increases. The output volume will also increase
as the input is increased.
Ratio
The decibel relationship between the amount of increase in input
signal vs. the amount of increase in output signal is controlled by
the Ratio knob. All the way to the left, the output will increase
approximately 1dB for every 1.5dB increase in input, providing a
very light and smooth compression. All the way to the right, the
output will increase approximately 1dB for every 10dB increase in
input, providing a more heavily compressed sound. Adjust this
control to suite your own taste and playing style. The 12 o’clock
position is a good starting point.
Output
Adjusts the output volume when the foot switch is on so you can
match the volume compared to when the foot switch is off. You
may need to adjust the volume a little whenever you increase or
decrease the Input.
dB Bar Graph Meter
Displays the amount of gain reduction occuring. Use this dis-
play along with your ears to find settings that provide consistency
when you play and from instrument to instrument.
