Pawn Shop Comp ’s designer, Dan Korne ff , is renown for guitar sounds, so it
is a given that the Pawn Shop Comp sounds great on electric guitars. Use
slower settings on the ATTACK control to bring out picking and
percussiveness. Setting the RELEASE long can make hand noise and hum less
obtrusive, but long releases tend to dull down the entire guitar sound.
On The Other Side, the WEIGHT control is almost speci fi cally designed to add
back in missing bottom end on compressed guitars, while FOCUS will bring
out note articulation. BIAS and PREAMP can be used together to add a nice
simulation of old tube amp crunch and breakup.
On Acoustic Guitars
The same ideas apply to acoustic guitars as electric: control the percussive
character of the acoustic guitar using the ATTACK knob, use the RELEASE to
control resonance and sustain, as well as sparkle.
The WEIGHT control on the back can be used to cut out some lower end
boom, and a boost in FOCUS will increase articulation and presence.
On Vocals
The Pawn Shop Comp can be used to barely touch a vocal or smash it to hell
and back. ATTACK controls the bite and intelligibility of the vocal, RELEASE
controls breathiness and can be used to increase intimacy (at faster settings).
Long RELEASE settings will dramatically smooth vocals out.
On The Other Side, get rid of lower end chestiness by doing a tiny cut with
WEIGHT, and top o
ff and widen the vocal a bit with FOCUS. Use that
OPERATING LEVEL control to add gain and presence to the vocal. Crank it
way up (and drop the OUTPUT level) to get distortion and mojo happening.
The PREAMP control will give vocals a nice, glassy sheen.
On Drums
Again, the Pawn Shop Comp was developed by an engineer known for great
rock drum sounds, and he made the plugin for his speci
fi c work so…. It’s
great on drums. Use it on everything from kicks to snares to toms. Turning
up OPERATING LEVEL by 3dB or more makes drums jump out of the
speakers like cannons. Dialing in a higher BIAS setting can add vintage
overload crunch to a kick.
