Control Parameters
Gain%
Controls the signal level (combined input/output):
- Low → less volume and less push
- High → more volume and more sustain
It can also be used as a boost
Sensitivity%
Control the amount of compression:
- Low → light compression
- Medium → dynamic control
- High → marked sustain and more compressed sound
It is the primary control of behavior
Pro Tips
- More sustain → raise Sensitivity
- More volume → raise Gain
- More dynamics → lower Sensitivity
Universal setup:
- Gain: 55–60%
- Sensitivity: 45–50%
Balanced and live-ready sound
