T25 Tube Compressor API Select
4
2.0 Quick Start
One tip to get started: We try to design all of our processing modules with the understanding that
there is never enough time to read a manual and learn all of the features in the 10 seconds that is
allowed during a setup. If you simply set all of the parameters as follows the T25 will have a useful,
but conservative effect on the signal.
After the unit has been powered on and warmed up*:
• Set the following knobs to the 12:00 position
o ATTACK
o RELEASE
o IN THRESHOLD
o OUT MAKE-UP
• Set RATIO to 2:1
• Engage the IN switch
• Disengage the D-S, THRUST
®
, BYP, and LINK switches
These settings will provide a good starting place for additional tweaking to achieve the desired sound.
*NOTE: The T25 is a tube-based processor that requires 15 minutes for the tubes to warm-up
to a stable temperature before tonal qualities become consistent.
