Sidechain connector jack
The sidechain connector jack on the back of
the pedal allows you to alter the sidechain signal
by inserting an external device, such as an EQ. You
can also have an external audio source trigger the
compression by sending audio in through the ring of
the sidechain jack.
The sidechain connector accepts a 1/8” TRS plug:
Tip = send, Ring = return, Sleeve = ground.
Parallel Compression
The mix knob on the Bass Compressor allows
for parallel compression. Parallel compression is
achieved by blending a compressed audio signal with
the uncompressed version of itself. It opens up a ton
of possibilities. A great use of parallel compression is
to really squash the compressed signal (so it sounds
way too over compressed), then use the mix knob to
blend in some of the uncompressed signal. The result
is very natural sounding, but feels a lot more exciting,
with more sustain and retaining a good attack. Try
experimenting with it!
