PANEL CONTROLS (CONTINUED)
6. MIX - This control allows you to blend the compressed signal with the original un-compressed signal.
The numbers indicate a difference in volume. Each step of the rotary switch adds 2dB of difference in
volume. For example, the “4” position in the clockwise direction indicates that the “WET” signal will be 4
dB louder than the “DRY” signal.
7. OUTPUT - This rotary switch allows you to reduce the output volume of the blended output signal
10dB in .5 dB steps. I have found that the UnFairchild can sound really good when pushing A LOT of level
through it. By reducing the output level, you can get the benefits of pushing a lot of level without clip-
ping the input of whatever device comes after it.
8. BYPASS - These toggle switches allow you to bypass the MIX and OUTPUT processing done by the
UNFa-1. These bypass switches only bypass the processing done by the UNFa-1 and do NOT bypass the
processing done by the UnFairchild 670M mkII. If you want to bypass the compression entirely, you have
to use the bypass setting on the unFairchild itself. It is done this way so users can bypass all of the active
circuitry of the UNFa-1 and use the UnFairchild 670M mkII as it was originally designed.
