The Main Squeeze Compressor/Sustainer is a high quality compressor
using world famous dbx® dynamics processing. DigiTech’s exclusive
AudioDNA™ technology gives you studio quality comression in an easy
to use stompbox design. Experimenting with the Main Squeeze controls
provides you a variety of application settings, from mild compression
that subtly quiets peak signals, to full on sustain for squeezing the last
drop out of each note during those great solos.

1. Level Knob

Controls the effect’s output level. Turn this knob clockwise to increase
the output level, and counter-clockwise to decrease output level.

2.Attack Knob

Controls the amount of attack and release of the compression effect.
Turning this knob clockwise gradually increases the attack time and
shortens the release time of the compression effect. Turning the knob
counter-clockwise, shortens attack and increases the compression
release time. Higher settings allow picking transients to be heard easier.
