LIMITER
The GainStation 1 offers two types of output level limiting: PEAK and FET. The limiter is
The peak limiter operates with special diodes that convert signal peaks into a type of saturation. Depending on the signal, this allows levels to be effectively and subtly limited. This type of limiting works very quickly, reliably limiting even microsecond- long transients, and is very effective for drums and percussion. The peak limiter also enables maximum loudness. Operation is displayed via the Limit LED.
The FET limiter is additionally available when the tube stage is activated. The FET circuit operates with a Field Effect Transistor (FET), which is connected to the tube and
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the tube stage is deactivated while FET limiting is active, the LED will continue to display in FET limiting mode.
For more information on using the limiters please see page 20, ”Limiter”.
