■Controls
・VOL: Adjusts the volume.
・BLEND: Adjusts the balance between the clean signal and the compressor.
・SENS: Adjusts how easily the compressor works. The lower the setting, the easier it is to apply.
・GAIN: Adjusts the signal boost level.

●Trim Pots (From left to right when the unit is turned upside down with the footswitch facing you)
・LDR Adjust: This trim pot is connected in parallel with the LDR. Turning it clockwise widens the adjustment range of the GAIN control. Setting it higher may cause distortion or clipping, depending on the SENS setting.

・Post: Depending on the compressor setting, the volume may be lower than the input level. This trim pot allows you to readjust the gain to match the headroom of your amplifier or pedals.

・Decay: Adjusts the decay time of the LED in the LDR when the input level drops, setting the release time. The maximum clockwise setting smooths dynamics, while the minimum counterclockwise setting emphasizes compression. Adjust to suit your playing style and tonal preferences.
■Power Supply: 9VDC center negative (batteries cannot be used)
