provides a good and musical compression effect. The Soft Knee
compression is more subtle and is applied progressively, with a soft
corner curve. The effect is gentle and desirable when compression
doesn't have to be obvious (lower ratios up to 4:1), or used as an
audio effect. Think of it like a mastering tool for voicing audio
content. With higher ratios (in between 4:1 and 10:1), it makes for a
studio quality compression effect. Soft Knee is also more usable
when threshold is set low, because it makes the compression more
musical. When Soft Knee is used with higher thresholds, it adds more
transparency to the sound, diluting compression feel.
SCF SWITCH ‐ Side Chain Filter switch has two positions: Normal (N),
Deep (D). In Normal position, the Side Chain Filter is set to
accommodate a large range of audio signals and instruments. By
design, it has an attenuation of lower frequencies below 1 KHz,
which allows the compressor to act with a short delay and let lower
frequencies pass through without triggering the compression right
away. This setting renders a natural response that is suitable for
most cases. In Deep (D) position, more of the lower end frequency
(an additional ‐12dB@130Hz) is freed up to prevent triggering
compressor kicking in too early. This setting lets more of the low end
pass through at the output, while also lowering the amount of
compression. This is a proper setting for guitar if a fuller sound is
needed and especially for bass instrument.
COMPRESSION DISPLAY ‐ A 5‐LED display takes precise information
from the RMS‐level sensor and compiles a visual feedback for the
amount of compression applied to input signal that goes above the
threshold. The visual indication is calibrated for ‐20dBu (77.5mV)
input reference signal level, suitable to a wide range of electric
instrument pickups. The display is very precise, but is also totally
related to input audio signal level, which is highly dynamic by nature
and may vary wildly from calibrated reference when using different
sources. Even at low to mid Ratios, if audio input level is higher, the
display can peak Yellow or Red color. Red color does not indicate
anything wrong! This may happen frequently if you have high input
signal levels, lower Threshold and higher Ratio. Use only your ear to
attain the desired compression effect!
AUTO ADJUSTING DINAMIC TIMING ‐ Any dynamic processing
requires a precise timing of the Attack and Release of the effect.
CompIQ uses a responsive Auto Adjusting Timing Circuit, which
adapts to playing dynamics. Short and percussive transients are
handled with faster timings, while longer, steady signals, and benefit
from slower timings. The circuit responds dynamically to your
playing and is very fast in changing these timings. Attack and Release
timings are applied with softness, which makes this kind of
processing very musical. A manual set of Attack and Release would
hardly match the quality of auto timing of this circuit! On top of
that, the Timing Switch allows you to choose from Fast or Slower
attack & release times. Slower Timings position is approximately 10‐
15ms for attack time and 100‐220ms for release time. Faster timings
are approximately 5‐7ms for attack, 70ms for release. Attack time
means the time it takes for the maximum compression to reach the
set amount. Release time means the time it takes for the
compression to return to normal (input) audio level.
INPUT ‐ Here you will connect either an instrument directly, or the
output of another effect or even a microphone preamp, or a signal
taken from the amplifier's SEND FX‐loop.
OUTPUT ‐ From here you will send the compressed signal to the next
effect pedal, or an amplifier's input, or to the RETURN FX‐loop of an
amplifier. Output signal can also be recorded directly into a Hi‐Z
interface input. When not engaged (or powered), the pedal is in True
Bypass.
DC POWER CONNECTOR ‐ Use only good filtered power supplies,
with a voltage of 9‐12 VDC, with center negative polarity. Use a DC
Power Plug Ø5.1/2.1mm, with a 12mm long barrel because the
connector is recessed inside the enclosure.
LAST WORD
Compressors are usually placed right after an instrument, first in the
signal chain. This is an arbitrary convention. Its placement depends
on what you're trying to achieve. For instance, if a compressor is set
last in the FX loop of an amplifier, it may act like a mastering tool. In
such an instance, the compression cannot really be used as an effect,
and must be dialed in cautiously to preserve the dynamic range of
the musical content.
The combination of Ratio, Threshold, Make‐up Gain and Dry/Wet
Mix manual controls along with Compression Knee, Side Chain Filter
and Fast/Slower Dynamic Timings selectable options, makes this tiny
little pedal a mighty weapon of dynamic processing. You will simply
not going to find this many features and this quality in such a pedal
form factor, anywhere. You may also use it with vocals or other
stringed instruments like acoustic guitars, violins, cellos, or brass
instruments like trumpets, etc.
