Compressor
A compressor is used to compress the dynamic range of a signal (make the loud signals quieter
and quiet signals louder). In the Element/Element XP processors, the Compressor is used to add
sustain and tighten up the dynamics of the guitar. The Compressor can be adjusted between 1-20
or turned off, as shown in the below table. Lower values represent lighter compression and higher
values represent heavier compression (and more sustain). The Compressor’s threshold and gain
settings are controlled simultaneously when adjusting the Compressor value, making it faster and
easier to set. The Compressor’s ratio is fixed at infinity:1.
