12
set by the Ratio parameter. Turn the ATTACK knob
counter-clockwise for “squashing” the signal more and
clockwise for a more subtle compression.
9 – Ratio
This parameter determines how hard the signal is
compressed – see the illustration on the previous
page. Turn clockwise for more extreme compression.
For more information, refer to this manual’s
“Suggested Settings” section.
10 – Meter
In Compressor Mode, the meter indicates the current
attenuation (compression) of the signal while you are
playing. In Noise Gate Mode, the meter indicates the
amount of attenuation of the signal when the gate is
active.
11 + 14 – Algorithm
Use these switches to select the algorithms for the two
channels. The options are:
S
tudio (Compressor):
This is a subtle compression type. It ensures that your
guitar is present with a constant level in the mix.
The “Studio” compressor mode uses so-called
multiband compression (in this case, three bands), that
you would normally only find in expensive studio
compressors. This 3-band compressor allows
individual processing of low, mid and high-end
frequencies. The advantage of this technique is that
e.g. a loud, pumping bass figure is processed
separately and therefore won’t influence the mid and
high-end frequencies.
“S
tomp” (Compressor):
The “Stomp” compressor mode gives you the kind of
hard compression typically associated with stomp box
compressors. Use this mode if you aim for an audible
compression effect with either a “twang” or a “popping”
sound.
Gate:
In Gate Mode, the engine acts as a noise gate.
