Log Rel — This push button invokes either the default, “normal” mode or a mode with an
increased release curve acceleration. When compressing a fair amount (6dB or more), transient
signals can get “swallowed”, “ducked” or over-compressed. By changing the release character-
istics under higher gain reduction amounts, the “punchy” character of some transient sources
can be partially restored. That’s what this control does. When the light to the left of this push
button is not illuminated, the Log Rel function is not engaged. When the light is illuminated,
additional processing is engaged to help restore program transients.

Bypass — This push button engages or disengages a relay that routes the input signal around
to the output jacks, thereby bypassing the output of the compressor. This control does not disrupt
the operation of the compressor in any way, but merely selects the source signal for the output jacks:
either the output of the compressor or the original input signal. When the light to the left of the
push button is illuminated, this function is engaged (i.e., the output is taken directly from the
input jack without any compression). When the light is extinguished, the function is disabled
and the output is taken from the output of the compressor.
