The Output control is used to set the desired output of the Blue Max. It is sometimes referred
to as ‘gain makeup’ control. This term is derived from the fact that as the compressor lowers
the output level during gain reduction, the overall signal level is lowered, requiring the user to
‘makeup’ the gain thereby restoring the original signal level.
Input / Output Meter Select
This button selects the function of the Input/Output meter. Pushed in, the meter gives you the
level of the input signal. Pushed out, the meter gives you the level of the signal after
compression; the output level.
Process In/Out
The Process button is similar to a bypass button except that the signal is still effected by the
Input of the Blue Max. Pushed in, the Blue Max is processing the signal (compressing).
Pushed out, the Blue Max is no longer compressing the signal; however the input gain setting
remains active.
