■COMP/LIMITER (p. 25) (Compressor/Limiter)

3ATK/THR (Attack/Threshold) Knob

Adjusts the compressor’s attack and the volume at which the limiter begins to affect the sound.

2EFFECT LEVEL Knob

Adjust the overall volume.

*When the Bypass EXP Mode (p. 55) and Noise Suppressor (p. 44) is set to “Off,” only CHORUS or REV/DLY is used, so turning this knob does not change the volume of the direct sound.

4SUS/RATIO (Sustain/Ratio) Knob

Adjusts the length of the compressor decay and adjusts the limiter’s compression ratio.

5LEVEL Knob

Adjusts the compressor/limiter volume level.
