・KNEE switch: This switch changes how the compressor works. Knee means the knee, and when the signal exceeds the threshold, compression is applied as if the knee is bending, which is called hard knee, and when the compression becomes stronger as the level increases, it is called soft knee. HARD applies clearly strong compression, and SOFT applies more gentle compression.

・SCF switch: This is the setting for the side chain filter. It can be set to N (Normal), L (Low), or D (Deep). In the N position, the side chain filter affects a wide range of audio signals and suppresses frequencies below 1kHz. Since the sound has more power in the low range, the compressor responds to the movement of the low range and operates. This filter suppresses this and operates the compressor according to the overall balance of the tone, and does not affect the actual tone. When set to the L position, the filter applies more low-end frequencies (-12dB@90Hz), while in the D position it applies a filter to frequencies slightly higher than the L position (-12dB@200Hz).
