ART TCS Twin Compressor System
ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS
Setting up the TCS for sustain with a guitar amplifier
If your guitar amp has a pre-EQ effects loop you can patch the TCS into it.
Otherwise plug your guitar into the instrument input on Channel 1 of the
TCS, and increase the instrument level until you’re working with a decent
signal level. Adjust the ratio to about 4:1 and increase the threshold to a
comfortable level. Using high amounts of compression clamps down on the
incoming note, but if you hold the note for a long time, instead of gradually
decaying, the note will get a bit louder.
Setting up the TCS as an instrument limiter
Some instruments, particularly slap bass, can damage speakers or overload
a mixer if recorded directly. Try running the bass into the instrument input,
and select the VCA bass setting. This will clamp down on the spike and
allow more overall gain without worrying about distortion or speaker
damage.
