COMPRESSOR Function
The COMPRESSOR function is available only in configurations which display "L-GAIN" in the configuration
title.
This function allows you to compress the signal prior to the distortion stage. Compression is often used to
maintain an even level when using clean tones, and also to increase sustain when using distorted tones.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these COMPRESSOR parameters:
The COMPRESSOR IN/OUT parameter determines whether the compressor is active for
the current preset.
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) in which
the compressor will reach its maximum compression level after the input signal has
exceeded the threshold level (set by the COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD parameter).
The COMPRESSOR RELEASE parameter determines the speed in which compression
will cease after the input signal has dropped below the threshold level.
