Compressor (Cyan) 159
 Squash
This gives you control over the dynamic behavior of the compression. At the center position the compressor will work
as you expect. When you turn “Squash” towards zero, the compressor will emphasize the first phase of the strings’
decay, resulting in less squash. When you turn it more to the right, the first phase of the strings´ decay gets
squashed, and the volume sags. You will notice that the compressor recovers from squashing when you let the
strings decay further - even boosting the sound a little, compared to when you hit the strings. Now, the compressor
becomes noticeable!
“Squash” does not change the compression ratio, as this is always infinite on vintage stomp compressors.
