Thank you for purchasing the EBS
Black Label MultiComp pedal!
We hope you'll enjoy using the
EBS MultiComp pedal.
EBS MultiComp is a high performance, analog
compressor pedal with a choice between solid
state, tube simulation and multi-band
compression. With these impressive features
the MultiComp makes a good sounding
instrument sound even better.
TUBESIM
MULTIBAND
NORMAL
- Activates the tube simulator, which adds extra
harmonics and warmth to your sound, useful for spicing up
your sound. Otherwise this mode operates as the normal
position.
(MB) - Selects the dual band compression. In this
mode the bass and treble compressors work independently.
Here you can achieve maximum compression effect without
side-effects.
- This position selects a normal one-band
compressor action. Use moderate setting and compensate
with the gain control for best result.
I LED
FS
NDICATOR
OOT WITCH
Indicates dynamically how the compressor works when active.
This LED should glow when the pedal in switched on. When this LED stops
lighting you should replace the battery as soon as possible.
Switches the pedal on or off. This switch uses noiseless FET-switching for rapidly
switching during play. Because of the active design, this switch performs better
than what is normally called “true bypass”.
TCHE ONTROLS
- Controls the output
gain of the
compressor. Use this
control to compensate
the output level with
reference to bypass.
You can also use this
control to boost your
sound.
- Controls the
amount of
compression, the
compressor ratio. The
range is from 1:1
(minimum position)
up to 5:1 (maximum
position).
ACTIVE/
PASSIVE
Switch
(next to
input jack)
Set this switch to ACTIVE position if you are playing an active
instrument or if you have the pedal connected to an effects
loop. If you are playing a passive instrument, set this switch to
PASSIVE.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS SWITCH IS SET
CORRECTLY FOR THE MULTICOMP TO WORK PROPERLY.
SSSAMPLE OUND ETTINGS
The following examples below show a few of the many sonic
possibilities of the EBS MultiComp.
STANDARD COMPRESSION
MULTIBAND COMPRESSION
TUBESIM MODE
The standard compression is achieved with the
mode switch set to Normal position .
Use moderate setting for compression and
compensate for gain loss, or boost the signal
with Gain.
This is a very useful setting for tightening up
your sound and obtaining maximum
compression.
Use a fairly high setting for compression and
balance your sound the Gain control.
Based on the normal on-band compressor, this
setting adds tuba-alike harmonics to your
sound. Useful when you wish to add extra
warmth to your sound, and works very well with
other instruments than bass or guitar.
