Sizzle
Adds “punch” and “air” to the signal, especially useful for bass sounds. It puts a
Look Ahead
Looks at the digital signal several milliseconds before it is processed, to anticipate peaks. Reduces the attack time to less than zero.
Type selects the kind of compression the Smashup will emulate. Several different analog compression types are modeled. See page 30.
Release determines how quickly the compressor will “let go” of the signal after levels have fallen below the threshold. Turn counter- clockwise for faster releases.
Threshold sets the level where
the compressor starts working on the signal. At the “5 o’clock” setting, the threshold is high and there’s no compression; turn
Rear Panel
Plug the power adapter in here.
Attack sets how much time will pass after a peak is detected before the signal is compressed. Turn
to let more attack through,
BYPASS lets signal pass through without any compression.
The FOOT SWITCH may be connected to any momentary pedal, to engage the BYPASS function.
Output increases the output level.
Use this to increase the signal to normal levels after it has been compressed.
Signal LED
When this lights green, the Smashup is getting an input signal. When it’s red, it’s seeing too much level...so turn down the instrument...

If you’re using a ModLink chain, you only need to connect to the first unit’s input, and the last unit’s output.
