C OMPRESSOR
Gotta play a clean chordal passage that needs to be nice, smooth and even? Then,
look no further: Compressor is the pedal for you. Modelled on a compressor
pedal that is hugely popular due to the clean sound it can produce. Perfect for
pop and funk music.
Parameters Values Notes
Sens 0…99 Adjusts the sensitivity of the compressor (i.e. when its
“smoothing” effect kicks in). The amount of compres-
sion will increase the more you turn this control up.
Level 0…100 Adjusts the output level. Usually, this is used to com-
pensate for the gain loss caused by compression.
Attack 0…99 [ms] Adjusts the speed needed for the compressor to kick
in. Faster speeds might chop the beginning of notes
out.
