HOW IT WORKS

1

 Blend

 – Determines how much of the original 

signal is blended back into the compressed 
signal. This control allows you to play above 
the compression threshold to bring the natural 
snap back to individual notes or a riff when you 
really dig in.

2

 Mid/Full/High Switch

 – Determines whether 

just the mids or highs are blended, or the full 
frequency spectrum. Experiment with the 
settings to discover very different tones.

3

 Sustain

 – This knob is the heart and soul of the 

Seymour Duncan Vise Grip Compressor as it 
determines the length of sustain. It’s easy: the 
higher the setting the longer your notes will 
ring out.

4

 Attack

 – This crucial control regulates how quickly 

the compressor reacts to your initial pick attack 
with the circuit acting to compress the input signal. 
For increased dynamics, a higher setting will give 
a late attack that allows your pick dynamics to 
come through before the compression kicks in.
