Rocktron Xpression - Manual (Page 26)

Compression is often used to maintain an even level when using clean
tones, and is also used to increase sustain when using high gain distortion.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following
Compressor parameters.
The PARAMETER ADJUST control will allow you to make adjustments to be
made to the selected parameter:
Functions and Parameter Descriptions
COMPRESSOR
Function
The COMPRESSOR I/O parameter determines whether the compres-
sion circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset.
Select IN if you want activate the compressor
Select OUT if you want to bypass the compressor
The COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD parameter determines the input
level (in dB) at which compression will begin. Lower settings of this
parameter will result in more compression.
The COMPRESSOR ATTACK parameter determines the speed (in
milliseconds) at which the compressor will reach its maximum com-
pression level after the input signal has exceeded the threshold level
(set by the COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD parameter).
The COMPRESSOR RELEASE parameter determines the speed (in
seconds) at which compression will cease after the input signal has
dropped below the threshold level.
***NOTE - When using a Bass we suggest longer release times - up to
1 to 2 seconds. This will keep the dynamic range limited producing a
more smooth consistent level output.****
