GAIN
The Compressor effect is just the thing when you want to smooth out your levels the way
that you would typically do in a recording studio.
Thresh – determines how aggressive you want the Compressor to be in smoothing
things out. More negative numbers make the Compressor more active in taming
your levels, so -32dB is a more aggressive setting than -16dB, say. Some makeup gain
is also added as you turn the knob to the left, making for a much easier tweaking
experience.
Gain – controls (what else?) gain, so that even when you’re really squashing your
signal with an aggressive threshold setting, you’ll be able to get good volume levels out
of your POD X3, POD X3 Live or POD X3 Pro.
