Owner’s Manual
Tube Leveling Amplifier
1. On/Off. Turns the Compressor on or off in the signal chain.
2. Gain. Sets input gain to the compressor. Because this type of
compressor operates in a different way than a standard compressor,
much of the way that it affects signals is based on the input
level. Try different settings to see what suits your needs.
3. Peak Reduction. Sets the amount of peak reduction to
apply to the signal. Higher settings result in more gain
reduction and more pronounced compression effect.
4. Compressor/Limiter Toggle. The button below toggles the Tube Leveling
Amplifier between its compressor and limiter modes. When in compressor
mode, it acts with a variable ratio of 1:1-10:1. When in limiter mode, it acts
with a variable ratio of 10:1-20:1, more aggressively limiting peaks.
5. Key Filter. This sets the frequency at which the Tube Leveling
Amplifier will engage. It will still process the entire frequency range,
but it is only engaged when the specified frequency is present.
6. Key Listen. Press to listen to the signal being used to trigger the compressor,
as set with the Key Filter control (including the effects of the high-pass
filter). Press again to switch back to the normal channel signal.
Class-A FET Compressor
1. On/Off. Turns the Compressor on or off in the signal chain.
2. Input Gain. Sets input gain to the compressor. This setting
affects the action of the compressor, so feel free to try various
settings to find the optimal effect for your needs.
3. Output Gain. Sets the amount of “makeup gain” to apply to a signal. Once
a signal is compressed, its overall level is often reduced. This gain control
lets you bring it back up to the proper level after compression occurs.
4. Attack. Sets the time it takes for the compressor to begin
attenuating a signal once it passes the threshold.
5. Release. Sets the time it takes for the compressor to stop
attenuating a signal once it falls below the threshold.
6. Ratio. Sets the Ratio for the compressor. The following
Ratios are available: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, or All.
