Other Effects

Comp (Compressor)

The Comp (Compressor) effect in GearBox is modeled after* the classic, studio-standard LA- 2A® tube compressor. It’s just the thing when you

want to smooth out your levels the way that you would typically do in a recording studio. The THRESHOLD knob determines how aggressive the compressor will be in smoothing things out. Turning the knob farther to the left give you more aggressive compression. The GAIN knob lets you increase level once you've smoothed things out. But be careful: if you add too much gain here, you may see that you start clipping, and need to back off again on the gain.

EQ

GearBox's 4 Band Semi-Parametric EQ lets you emphasize and de-emphasize selected ranges of audio frequencies, from bass to midrange to treble. The knobs on the left of the EQ's control panel let you choose the frequency that each of the 4 bands of the EQ will focus on, and set the amount of gain that will be added to or subtracted from that frequency band.

The top knob pair is for the highest frequency range (the treble), providing a high shelf which boosts all the audio at and above the frequency point you select. As you make changes to this and the other EQ bands, the resulting EQ curve is shown in the EQ control panel's display area. The second knob pair down controls a bandpass filter for the for the high-mids, boosting frequencies at and around the frequency that you select. The third knob pair down is for the low mids, and the bottom knob pair, for the bass, controls a low which boosts all the audio at and below the frequency you select. Press the RESET button to "zero" out all the gains, and set each band to a default frequency point, which is generally a good starting point when you want to make EQ adjustments. As you make EQ adjustments, it's a good idea to frequently check what the Tone sounds like with the EQ turned off, to make sure that you're really making improvements when adding EQ!
