Our unique Blend knob and 3 way mini-toggle switch will allow you to select the frequency range of the original uncompressed signal as well as infinitely adjust the amount of “wet” versus “dry” signal that is routed to the output. It’s often best to put a compressor at the beginning of your effects chain, but sometimes it can work more efficiently when placed after effects such as an auto wah or envelope filter. You won’t do any damage by putting your effects in the so-called wrong order, so feel free to experiment and find what works best for your sound. AMPLE SETTINGS Subtle Compression Add just a little compression to your overall tone to even things out. High Compression A large amount of compressed tone mixed with very little dry signal. Great for smoothing out the dynamics in slap-style playing and keeping the pulled notes from becoming too harsh and overbearing. Sharp, Fast Add a little sparkle and punch to your top end without sacrificing any of your low end tone! Reggae Give your sound that fat bottom end you need to have for Reggae, Funk and World music. Round and Fat Great for ballads, Motown, and anytime you want a vintage tone with a nice even amount of top, mid, and bottom. Punchy Rock Add an aggressive midrange punch to your overall tone while maintaining a fat bottom end.
