Warm Mode
This function is basically a slew rate limiter that re-
duces the speed of the output amplier stages. This
aects the frequency spectrum, the harmonics and
the transient response at the same time.
Fast transients are slowed down a bit and the overall sound
appears more round and merged. As this function inuences
the behavior of the output stages, the eect it creates has an
impact on the complete processing results of the compressor.
This way the xpressor 500 oers two dierent sound char-
acters at the push of a button: the powerful transparency of
the discrete class-A circuitry and the saturated richness of the
Warm Mode.
Now the choice is really up to you: For transparent compres-
sion and an even frequency response, just use the xpressor
500 in standard mode. For a little bit more fat and juicy sound,
hit the Warm Mode button and you are there!
