  • 15. FREQ NOTCH KNOB

    • Knob through which you can move the Notch Filter from a frequency of 100Hz to a frequency of 1000Hz. Its selected frequency is lowered by 10dB,
  • 16. COMPRESSOR KNOB

    • The compressor determines when the signal will be compressed.
  • 17. RATIO SELECTOR

    • The ratio determines how much gain reduction the compressor applies when the signal passes a threshold level.
