Woodshed Comp Controls
This guide will show you how to get the most out of you Woodshed comp
and give you an explanation of each control and how they work together.
Ratio Knob:
Once you have the Threshold hold set, use the Ratio Knob to control how
much level reduction (compression) for any signal that goes above the set
threshold. The counterclockwise position will give a 1 to 1 (1:1) compression
ratio, meaning there is no compression occurring. As you turn the Ratio knob
clockwise the ratio of compression will increase to ∞ to 1 (∞:1). In essence,
turning the Ratio knob clockwise increases the ratio, giving you more
compression, while turning it counterclockwise lowers the ratio, giving you
less compression�

HELPFUL TIP: If you have the Ratio set counter-clockwise, you will get
no compression when your signal reaches the set threshold. However,
if your threshold is set too high, you will also get no compression of
your signal, regardless of your Ratio Knob setting.

HELPFUL TIP: The Threshold knob and Ratio knob work together to
set the amount of compression, depending on how hard or soft you
play. If you want compression when playing softer, set the Threshold
low. If you only want your hardest played notes to compress, set the
Threshold Knob higher.
Threshold Knob:
The Threshold Knob sets the level at which the compression starts to take
effect. The higher (clockwise) you adjust this knob, the harder you must play
before compression. The lower (counterclockwise) you set this knob, the
sooner compression starts to occur, even when playing softly.
