Getting Started
Introduction
Thank
you
for
choosing
Looptrotter
MONSTER
.
This
two
channel
single
band
FET
compressor
provides
unique
functionality
for
individual
instruments
or
sections
(
submixes
for
drums
,
guitars
,
keys
)
.
It
can
also
be
utilized
on
summing
bus
and
in
mastering
.
MONSTER
consists
of
three
devices
of
an
original
design
in
one
piece
:
FET
compressor
/
limiter
,
tube
saturator
and
fully
transparent
wet/dry
signal
mixer
.
FET
transistor
is responsible
for
gain
reduction
and
is
optimized
for
adding
low
order
harmonics
.
In its
non
-
linear
characteristics
it reminds
the
electron
tubes
,
so even
with
the
deep
compression
the
sound
focused
and
detailed
.
The
saturation
circuit
is
built
with
military
grade
electron
tubes
with
a prolonged
longevity
(NOS)
.
The
unique
feature
of Monster
Compressor
is the
option
of boosting
the
even
harmonics
added
by the
tubes
(2nd
BOOST)
,
especially
useful
for
extreme
processing
of tracks
and
subgroups
.
The
MIX
option
is based
on integrated
circuits
dedicated
to sound
processing
.
It
is
intended
to sound
transparent
,
but
gives
perfect
functionality
when
using
MONSTER
as
an
insert
device
when
100%
processing
is
unwanted
.
Monster
Compressor is a device
with
"
analog
character
".
It was
designed
to
either complement
super
clean
digital
technology
or
expand
sonic
possibilities
in
your
analog
studio
.
The
compression
module
treats
the
signal
in a very
musical
way
,
before
the
tube
saturation
.
And
the
unique
combination
of compression
and
tube
saturation
makes
the
sound
seem
distinctly
closer
,
every
detail
stand
out
and
gives
the
energy
to the
processed
sound
.
It makes
the
sound
more
tactile
and
ear
friendly
.
MONSTER
is
a
precise
device
,
in
terms
of
control
and
operation
.
All
rotary
switches
(except
saturation
stage
knob)
are
stepped
,
so
it
'
s
easy
to
record
and
recall
settings
and
allows
you
to
maintain
the
same
exact
settings
for
both
channels
.
Installation
Looptrotter MONSTER is factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country.
Please check the voltage setting on the rear panel.
With the power button switched off, connect the IEC mains cable to a 50/60 Hz AC
source of the voltage typical for your country.
Connect the signals to the 3 pin XLR slots on the rear panel:
