Owner`s manual

Front Panel Controls:

The front panel controls are COMPRESSION, ATK/RLS,

DRIVE, OUTPUT controls as well as RATIO, HPF,

BYPASS, LINK and POWER switches.

General Note: When a toggle switch is positioned toward the label, it is

enabling that function.

The COMPRESSION control sets the compressor

threshold. Turning the knob clockwise increases

compression. The RATIO switch selects between 2:1 and

4:1 ratios.

The DRIVE control sets the drive level to the tube gain

stage, and the OUTPUT control sets the overall output level

of the unit.

Operation is similar to that of a guitar amplifier with

preamp and master volume controls, allowing the amount

of tube saturation to be finely controlled.

The ATK/RLS selector changes both the attack and release

time constants of the compressor. The five attack settings

are 10mS, 22mS, 32mS, 47mS and 70mS. Release times

are proportionately longer and largely program dependant.

The HPF switch activates a 6dB/octave roll off in the

compressor sidechain that is 3dB down at 90Hz.
