run the input Gain between 9:00 and 2:00 for most instruments.

reduction of –12dB at the input.
Enhance Control
This is complex tone shaping network. It is designed to slightly boost the lower
frequencies. To scoop out the low midrange and add a boost to the high
frequencies all at the same time. The control is designed to give you a quick and
simple way to get a good modern Bass tone. The 12:00 position is considered to be
maximum effect on this control, and minimum is off. This control can be used
alone or with other tone controls.
Compressor and the Compressor Bypass Switch
This switch allows you to defeat or bypass the front end Compressor/Limiter. The
Compressor in your unit is a fixed threshold style compressor. You adjust the
amount of compression by turning the gain up or down until you get the desired
amount of compressor action that you want. You may find the bypass useful for
getting the maximum transients and increased punch when you are popping or
slapping.
