COMPRESSOR (CH.1-4)
Channels 1-4 have on-board compression available for
preventing unwanted distortion in the audio signal. The
compressor works by setting a threshold level with the
threshold knob. Once a signal level exceeds that threshold,
the signal is automatically compressed. Compression is very
useful when the mic/line signal is very dynamic (fl uctuating
from very low to high levels) and has the potential to
overload the inputs. If you think there is chance of someone
screaming into the mic with a burst of enthusiasm, it would
be a good idea to apply some compression.
14. THRESHOLD KNOB – Use this knob to set the
threshold level for the compressor. When set to OFF, no
compression is applied. As the knob is turned counter-
clockwise, the threshold level drops, and increases the
amount of compression applied.
15. COMPRESSOR LEDs – These LEDs refl ect the amount
of compression being applied.
DSP REV CONTROL
The on-board DSP effects are a great way to spice up your
vocals or instruments. The two main effects are echo and
reverb. The echo effect can be customized by adjusting
the echo repeat and echo delay controls. Reverb is ideal
for vocals as it adds a sense of spaciousness without echo
repetitions that could “muddy” the vocal signal.
16. ECHO LEVEL – This control adjusts the overall level of
the ECHO effect. Use this control to adjust the amount of
ECHO applied when adjusting the master effect level control.
To increase echo, turn the control clockwise. To decrease
echo, turn the control counter-clockwise.
17. ECHO REPEAT
– This control is used to adjust the
number of repetitions in the echo effect. When set to a
minimum, there will be no repetition of audio. As this control
is turned clockwise, more echo repetitions will occur.
