Purple Sweet 10
As of the release of this product we have not yet tested with the Radial Workhorse.
POWER SUPPLY RECOMMENDATIONS­With ANY 500 modules (not just the Devils) we recommend using a rack with external supply. We feel a power supply in such close proximity to the right hand slots of the rack can cause hum and noise oor issues with many modules by many manufacturers. For this reason we mainly recommend the API 500v rack with external L200 supply and the BAE 11-slot with external supply.
NOTES on BAE racks­We recommend adding a wire from Earth to power supply common on all BAE racks. In many cases hum can be avoided and Earth to common is standard procedure on most electronic equipment.

Slow Zener curve that resembles vintage style auto controls and slower variable-mu tube comps. Try other Ratios for speed and sound variation.
EXAMPLE SETTINGs - Set all controls to the HOT zones. Controls left unmarked choose any setting. On most examples you can still adjust the Mix or switch in the Sidechain for variation.
Adjust so compression is not heavily audible but there is an obvious sound improvement. Work the Mix and Attack. Use smaller amounts of compression and look for a good combo of THD and compression. This one is cool with a touch of practice!
Adjust so compression is not heavily audible but there is an obvious sound improvement. Again work the Mix and Attack. The dierent Curve and time constants will yield dierent eects. Try Ratio combos for even more variation.

In this setting keep the input full. The output will usually be set quite high because of large amounts of compression. This adds to the sound! Now gently dial in the amount of dry signal required. You’ll hear the track come back alive. In some cases putting an eq before the comp will make it sound even cooler as it adds to the pumping. Try this on drums!
