Studio Electronics Dragon - Manual (Page 6)

PRESETS
The following presets will help you get to know the DRAGON’s sound
on numerous mono and stereo sources. Adjust the “INPUT” of the
DRAGON so it produces the gain reduction indicated in the preset
description, and compensate for the gain reduction via the “OUTPUT”
control. For “ATTACK” and “RELEASE”, the presets are listed in clock
form and in the terms fastest and slowest.
EXAMPLE:
Release: Fastest means the release is fully counter clockwise at its
fastest setting.
Attack: 12 o’clock means the attack knob is positioned straight up the
middle, pointing at 12 o’clock.
