TheL.F.COMP.isananalogeectorusedtoboostorcompressthelow-
frequency band.
Thiseectisplacedlastintheoutputseries,providingapunchysound.
 Notethatthisseingcannotbesavedtoaprogram.
VU meter
Referto“HowtousetheL.F.COMP.”(p.38).
GAIN knob
Thissetstheintensityoftheeect.
Turning the knob to the right will decrease the compressor threshold and increase
the gain.
OFF/ON switch [OFF, ON]
Thissetswhethertheeectisonoro.
OFF:TurnstheL.F.COMP.o.
ON:TurnstheL.F.COMP.on.WhentheL.F.COMP.ison,theVUmeterLEDwill
light, and the needle will move to around the 0 db mark.
How to use the L.F. COMP.
TurntheL.F.COMP.ontoboostorcompresstheinputsignal,accordingtothe
GAINknobseing.
Boththemastervolume(MASTERknob)andgain(GAINknob)seingsareimpor-
tant in achieving a good sound.
The compressor will tend to activate more often when the master volume is set high,
since the output signal is strong. On the other hand, when the master volume is low,
the compressor will activate less.
Whenaloudsoundisoutpued,youshouldbeabletoachieveenoughcompressor
eect,evenatlowergainseings.
The VU meter shows about how much the output signal is being compressed. When
the needle moves to the left, this means that the compressor is being heavily applied.
UseboththeMASTERknobandGAINknobtogethertoachieveasoundyoulike.
