The front panel on the COMP16 is divided into three sections. These are:
1. Presets:

2. Controls:
The Input control adjusts the gain on the input amplifier.
Note: The input control is always active.
3. Output & Pushbuttons
The Output control is used to set the desired output of the COMP16. It is sometimes referred to as ‘gain makeup’ control. This term is derived from the fact that as the compressor lowers the output level during gain reduction,
