Use the Compressor effect block to control the
dynamic range of your guitar signal, enhancing
attack, sustain or both.
Threshold parameter
Use the Threshold parameter to define the signal
level at the guitar input where the Compressor
should kick in. The lower the Threshold (-30 dB
is lower than -20 dB), the sooner the Compres-
sor will engage.
Attack parameter
Use the Attack parameter to define how fast the
signal’s level should be reduced (as defined by
the Ratio parameter) once the signal at the guitar
input exceeds the Threshold value.
Makeup Gain parameter
Depending on the settings of the other Com-
pressor parameters, you may need to “make up”
reduced gain to maintain your output signal level.
Makeup gain allows you keep your signal levels
consistent from the input of the Compressor to
the output.
