EFFECTS - EQ
Release
Range: 50 to 2000 ms
The release time is the time it takes for the compressor
to release the gain reduction of the signal after the Input
signal drops below the threshold point again.
Level
Range: -100 dB to 0 dB
Depending on you compression settings you may prefer
to lower the output level of the compression block by a
few dBs. Use the compressor Level parameter to do so.
Stomp Type
The two parameters in the Stomp Box compression type
controls several parameters each. TC Electronic has
carefully tuned the interaction between these
parameters. Fast effective results with only two handles.
Drive
Range: 1 to 20
A combination of Threshold and Ratio parameters that
sets the compression amount. Make-up gain is applied
automatically keeping levels intact.
Response
Range: 1 to 10
A combination of the Threshold and Release parameters.
The lower the setting the more you will hear the
compression.
When pressing the compressor footswitch both
compressors (Mic and Instrument) are switched
on/off. To use only one of the compressors in a
preset use the following settings for the
compressor you do not want to use:
- Level: 0 dB,
- Threshold: 0 dB
- Ratio: Off
G-Natural EQs
G-Natural has separate EQs for the Instrument inputs
and the Mic/Pre input.
Editing EQ parameters:
•
Press and hold EQ to select between “Instrument”
EQ and “Mic/Line” EQ. The different EQ modes are
indicated by “M” for Microphone/Line or “I” for
instrument in the right side of the display.
•
Adjust parameters using encoders A-D
For each of the three bands, the following parameters
are available:
Gain
Range: -12 dB to +12 dB
Use this parameter to attenuate or boost the frequency
range selected with the Freq(uency) parameter.
Freq
Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
This parameter sets the center frequency of the
frequency range that you want to attenuate or boost.
Width
Range: 0.1 to 4 octaves
This parameter sets the width of the frequency range
around the frequency specified by the freq(uency)
parameter.
EQ Lock
Range: On/off
Identical EQ for both Instrument and Mic Pre.
With this parameter it is possible to lock the current EQ
settings on the instrument line to apply for all presets.
This is done by setting the EQ Lock parameter to “on”.
