Woodshed Comp Controls (continued)
Gain Knob:
The Gain knob can be thought of as "output" gain, or "make-up" gain. When
using compression, the signal volume becomes lower initially. This knob al-
lows you to "make-up" that lost level. Adjust this knob to boost a compressed
signal back up to your desired level.

HELPFUL TIP: Because of the incredibly high headroom (9Vdc pow-
er adapter input gives the circuit 24V due to internal 'charge pump'
circuit), with the Ratio Knob all the way down (1:1), Woodshed Comp
can be used as a boost, allowing you to hit the front of your amp with
additional level�
Attack Speed Switch:
Instead of having a knob to adjust the Attack Speed, Andy wanted to simplify
the choices. "On most compressors I use, the attack speed knob will stay in
one of three positions, Fast, Medium or Slow attack speed. So we made it an
easy switch."
☺ ☺
HELPFUL TIP: A fast (F) attack speed, will allow less transients to
come through before the signal compresses, smoothing out dynamics.
The slower the attack speed, the more pick attack and punch will come
through before compression starts.
