Compulator Pro
U s e r G u i d e
Operation of the COMP-Pro
Operation is fairly straightforward. There
are two inputs on the front side of the unit: a
1/4" input jack on the right and a1/4" output
jack on the left. The battery-power switch
is on the input Jack.
CONTROLS
There are four controls on the unitCompress and Volume, plus a foot switch
to bypass the effect, and an LED to indicate
effect operation. On the side there is Boost
switch and a trim pot to set the Boost gain
of the unit.
Attack: Sets the speed at which the
Compressor will start gain reduction. The
fastest setting is 1 millisecond, the slowest
100milliseconds.
Release: Sets the time the Gain reduction
will stay on. The fastest setting is 100 milliseconds, slowest 10 seconds.
Compress: affects the amount of Gain
reduction (compression) of the input signal.
Turning this clock wise will give you up to
30dB of gain reduction (depending on input
gain). Please note that the Compulators
normal gain is 12dB. In the boost mode
max gain is 24dB (SEE Trim Pot). In some
circumstance if you instrument is very hot
you could achieve less than unity gain if you
turn up the compress knob too much.
Volume: increases and decreases the output
volume of the Compulator use this for level
matching between the effected and unaffected signal.
Boost Switch: Turns on the preset gain for
weaker signals or for very heavey compression.
TRIM POT. Sets the gain of the compressor ’s Pre amplifier for the boost mode. If
distortion occurs turn this down until the
signal is clean. The boost is set at the factory At 20dB of gain.. If you have weaker
pickups or want to push the envelope turn it
up to its max gain 24dB.
POWER SUPPLY 9 volts DC. Either inter-
nal using a 9 volt Battery (battery access
remove the four screws on the bottom of
the unit, put apart). Or external using a mini
plug, Tip positive. External supplies should
be regulated.
