Compressor
Sound and starting point
Compression reduces dynamic peaks. Set threshold and ratio first, then use Makeup to restore comparable output level.
Threshold
Sets the level at which dynamics processing reacts. Check the module’s purpose below: a gate suppresses low-level sound, while a compressor reduces peaks above its threshold.
Ratio
Sets how strongly levels above the threshold are compressed. Higher ratios flatten dynamics more strongly.
Makeup
Adds output gain after compression. Match bypassed volume so the compression change is easy to judge.
Use in the rig
Add this module from the effect catalogue and select its position before amp, after amp, or after cabinet. Use the module enable switch to compare bypassed sound. Hold and drag its chain card to reorder; Duplicate makes another instance and Remove deletes it. In a session, automation can change its controls over the loop. Save sound preset stores the rig for reuse.
