ADV.COMP (Advanced Compressor)
This is an effect that produces a long sustain by evening out the
volume level of the input signal. You can also use it as a limiter to
suppress only the sound peaks and prevent distortion.
LIMITR (Limiter)
The limiter attenuates loud input levels to prevent distortion.
ENHANCER
This is an effect that clarifies the contour of the input sound by em-
phasizing the attack of the sound following changes in the input level.
Parameter/
Range Explanation
TYPE
Selects the compressor type.
BOSS COMP This models a BOSS CS-3.
HI-BAND This is a compressor that adds an even
stronger effect in the high end.
LIGHT This is a compressor with a light effect.
D-COMP This models a MXR DynaComp.
ORANGE This is modeled on the sound of the Dan
Armstrong ORANGE SQUEEZER.
FAT When applied heavily, this compressor ef-
fect provides a fat tone with a boosted
midrange.
MILD When applied heavily, this compressor ef-
fect produces a sweet tone with the high end
cut.
STEREO COMP This selects a stereo compressor.
SUSTAIN
0–100 Adjusts the range (time) over which low-
level signals are boosted. Larger values will
result in longer sustain.
ATTACK
0–100 Adjusts the strength of the playing attack.
Larger values will result in a sharper attack,
creating a more clearly defined sound.
TONE
-50–+50 Adjusts the tone.
LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume.
Parameter/
Range Explanation
TYPE
Selects the limiter type.
BOSS LIMITR This selects a stereo limiter.
RACK 160D This models a dbx 160X.
VTG RACK U This models a UREI 1178.
ATTACK
0–100 Adjusts the strength of the playing attack
when the strings are played. Higher values
result in s sharper attack, creating a more
clearly defined sound.
THRSH (Threshold)
0–100 Adjust this as appropriate for the input sig-
nal from your bass. When the input signal
level exceeds this threshold level, limiting
will be applied.
RATIO
1: 1– ∞ : 1 This selects the compression ratio used with
signals in excess of the threshold level.
REL (Release)
0–100 Adjusts the time from when the signal level
drops below the threshold until when limit-
ing is removed.
LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume.
Parameter/
Range Explanation
SENS (Sensitivity)
0–100 This adjusts the Enhancer sensitivity. The
more the value is increased, the more softly
you can play and still have the effect ap-
plied.
LOW FREQ (Low Frequency)
31.5Hz–125Hz Sets the low frequency range for the en-
hanced sound.
LOW LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the enhancer volume for the high
frequency range.
HIGH FREQ (High Frequency)
800Hz–8.00kHz Sets the high frequency range for the en-
hanced sound.
HIGH LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the enhancer volume for the high
frequency range.
