BONDI-SQUISHAS Squish As Compressor
- SERIAL #
- CERTIFIED BY
OVERVIEW
- OUTPUT : Makeup gain for the compressed signal. Ranges -20dB to +20 dB. Does not affect the dry signal.
- RATIO: Ranges 1:1 (no compression) to ∞:1 (limiting). Noon is a 4:1 ratio.
TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS
SENSITIVITY
Just a Threshold control, but rebranded to be guitarist-friendly. Ranges
-6.3dBu to -46.3dBu to accommodate a variety of input signals including bass
guitar, high output pedals (up to +12dBu), and synthesizer. Signals below the
threshold are not compressed.
ATTACK: Attack is program-dependent, meaning it is automatically set to a very musical rate based on the player’s input. Put simply More Squish = Faster Attack.
3dB 42m | -6dB 20m | -10dB 15mS | -20dB 5mS
RELEASE
The Release will always be slow relative to the Attack, at a fixed rate of
8mS/dB. Some useful rules of thumb for Release are:
3dB 24mS | 6dB 48mS | 10dB 80mS | 20dB 160mS
BLEND
CCW for DRY, CW for WET. Dry signal is unity gain with the compressed signal
when no compression or makeup gain is applied. Add depth to your tone with
parallel compression by setting the RATIO high and mixing in some dry signal.
ТОЛЕ
A Tilt-style EQ centred at 900Hz. Does not affect the dry signal.
WHERE TO START
- Most people like to set the SENSITIVITY so that it only compresses the peaks and does not disturb the delicate genius. Set the RATIO to maximum and the SENSITIVITY so that the VU meter only lights up when you play loudly.
- Increasing the SENSITIVITY past this point will compress more of your playing.
- Set the RATIO to below noon for transparency, or above noon for depth, and set the OUTPUT to make up for the gain reduction. Set BLEND and TONE to taste.
