Does this gain control occur before or after the compressor if it is engaged? > "Fast" and "slow" are relative terms, and not user adjustable. > Consider them part of the rig's personality... If the gain control is prior to the compressor, a fast decay might be more appropriate and reduce the "punch out" effect. 73, ...
