ATTACK

On  a  6-position  rotary  switch.  From 
ultra-fast  50  microseconds  to  very 
g e n t l e  2 0  m i l l i s e c o n d s  a n d 
everything in between.

RELEASE

On  a  6-position  rotary  switch.  From 
ultra-fast  25  milliseconds  to  0.4 
seconds  and  2  automatic  release 
times  (fast  on  peaks,  slow  on  
sustained program).

SIDECHAIN FILTER

OFF,  80  and  160  Hz  high  pass,  800 
Hz  and  3Khz  bell  type  boost  and 
5Khz  low  pass.  These  allow  for 
unprecedented  flexible  tweaking  of 
your compression. Implemented on a 
6-position rotary switch. 

GAIN MAKEUP

Allows for restoring the gain loss in 2 
dB  steps,  on  a  6-position  rotary 
switch.

BLEND ON button

Activates  the  BLEND  potentiometer, 
which  means  that  if  BLEND  is  OFF, 
the potentiometer is disengaged and 
signal is all WET.

GAIN REDUCTION METER

Measures  gain  reduction  in  dB.  It  is 
illuminated when Dynamics IN button 
is pressed.

ADJ. METER

(not  a  user  control)  Allows  for 
calibrating  the  meter.  DO  NOT 
TOUCH.

DYNAMICS IN button

Turns dynamic processor ON or OFF. 
It´s worth noting that when it is OFF, 
signal  is  passing  through  all  the 
circuitry so it benefits from the sound 
of the transformers and class A 1073

THRESHOLD

With  an  extended  range  from 
+20dBu (all clockwise) to -20dBu (all 
counterclockwise)  on  a  stepped 
precision potentiometer.

RATIO

From  a  very  gentle  1.5:1  to  a  full 
LIMIT function. On a 6-position rotary 
switch.
