Compressor Pedal Guitar Pedal Effect Pedal LY-ROCK PEDALS Replacement for Cali76 Stacked Edition

Controls:
IN: The In control sets the gain of the Stacked Edition's studio-grade input preamplifier. This preamp feeds into the front end of the first compressor.

Turning the In control clockwise to increase gain will also increase the amount of compression. The guitar will become increasingly touch sensitive as gain is increased. Too much gain and the preamplifier will clip and distort. Compression is greatly reduced at lower gain settings, as much of the signal entering the first compressor section falls below the compressor's internal threshold. Signal level must exceed this threshold in order to initiate gain-reduction. So, at lower gain settings, only the signal peaks are compressed.

ATT/REL 1: This control sets the attack and release characteristics of the first compression stage inside the pedal. This parameter determines how long it takes for the compressor to react to the presence of a signal and initiate gain reduction (attack) and how long gain reduction then lasts before the compressor returns to idle state (release).

With the Att/Rel knob turned clockwise, the compressor has a slow attack and fast release, best for percussive playing. A slow attack allows the initial transient of each note to avoid compression, thereby emphasizing your pick attack, while the fast release means that the compressor can recover in time to react to the next note.

Turned anti-clockwise, the compressor has a fast attack and slow release, offering a smoother, more "spongy" feel. A fast attack means the whole note is compressed, providing more uniform gain reduction, while the slow release means that gain reduction will gently taper off with no sudden "pumping" effects.

THRU: The Thru control sets the level of the signal fed from the output of the first compressor to the input of the second compressor. Just like the In knob, this in turn determines the amount of compression applied by the second compressor.

Turning the Thru control anti-clockwise attenuates the signal leaving the first compressor so that it drops below the threshold of the second compressor, reducing the amount of compression. Turning the control clockwise hits the second compressor harder, increasing
compression.

ATT/REL 2: This control sets the attack and release characteristics of the second compressor. Just like the first compressor's Attack/Release controls (above), it ranges from a fast attack and slow release (anti-clockwise) to a slow attack and fast release (clockwise).

DRY: The Dry control varies the amount of dry, uncompressed signal present at the pedal's output, thereby mixing the original, uneffected signal back in with the compressed signal.
You can adjust the balance between the compressed and uncompressed signals by adjusting the Out and Dry knobs accordingly.

OUT: The Out control determines the level of the signal present at the pedal's output. This can be set in order to keep the overall effected level close to that of the dry (bypass) signal. Alternatively, the level can be increased to help project a guitar solo.
