3.0 Overview
The T25 Tube Compressor provides a comprehensive suite of controls:
•
ATTACK
: Sets the time it takes the compressor to respond after levels rise above threshold
•
RELEASE
: Sets the time it takes the compressor to return to unity gain after levels fall below
threshold
•
RATIO
: Sets the amount of compression applied to levels above threshold
o
Four fixed ratios: 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, and 20:1
•
