Quick Start Guide

Steps:

1. Plug-in 9vdc pedal power adapter. 

2. Connect your guitar to the Input of the Woodshed Comp via a 1/4" cable. 

3� Connect the Output of the Woodshed Comp to your amplifier's input. 

4. Start with the Attack switch set to Fast (F) 

5� With the Threshold Knob set all the way up (clockwise) and the  

Ratio Knob all the way down (counterclockwise), set the Gain knob 

around 12 O'clock. This is 'unity' gain. Adjust Gain Knob slightly as you 

play and turn on and off the Woodshed Comp, to find the exact spot 

where your volume is the same with the pedal on or off� 

6� Set the Ratio Knob to  ~10 O'clock 

7� As you play, slowly turn the Threshold knob counterclockwise to lower the 

Threshold of when compression begins. As you turn the Threshold down, 

you will hear the Woodshed Comp compress your signal, lowering the  

over-all volume�  

8� Then adjust the Gain knob to "make-up" the volume loss and return your 

signal to a similar level as when the Woodshed is off. 

9� Now, listen to your compressed tone. If you wish to compress your signal 

more, turn the Ratio knob (clockwise) to increase the compression ratio or 

lower the Threshold knob (counterclockwise) to begin compressing your 

signal at quieter playing levels, or both. Always use the Gain knob to bring 

your levels back to unity gain.
