The expander’s Threshold is variable from -30 dB to +10 dB.

The Gate switch toggles the section from an expander (default mode) into a gate.
Dyn To

Bypass bypasses the entire dynamics section. Note that selecting Bypass does not result in a
flat signal, but rather one which mimics the flat response of the SSL channel strip hardware.

Ch Out moves the dynamics to the output of the E-Channel, making it post-EQ.
