Using the Smashup 3
Description of Controls
Threshold
The [THRESHOLD] knob sets the level where compression will begin. As long as the input signal level is below the Threshold level, the Smashup will do nothing to the signal. Once the input signal crosses the Threshold, the Smashup will begin compressing (turning down the level).

Graph of compression
This shows the Smashup’s internal gain setting, with the solid line meaning “no reduction” for most of the graph above. (This assumes the [ATTACK] and [RELEASE] knobs are set fast enough to track the input this closely).
