#KEELEY COMPRESSOR 4 KNOB SETTINGS MANUAL#

While the manual generally recommends leaving it all the way up, I find myself sometimes liking to pull it back a bit to decrease the amount of saturation produced from higher Sustain settings. If youвЂ™re running a hotter signal or noticing additional noise or distortion, cut it back a bit. For lower level signals you may want to increase the setting or max it out. Think of it as a sort of pre-gain control. The Clipping control limits the input signal going into the pedal before it hits the Sustain section. The Clipping and Attack controls are where things get interesting. The Level control sets your overall volume level. The Sustain control essentially increases the amount of compression (ratio) and puts more of a squeeze on your guitar signal as you crank up the knob. The Sustain and Level controls will be familiar to anyone whoвЂ™s ever used or at least heard of the old Ross Compressor or Dyna Comp. The 4-Knob version, or вЂњC4вЂќ as itвЂ™s now called, puts these essential controls on the outside as theyвЂ™re quite useful for configuring the pedal to your current guitar and style of playing. The old 2-Knob Compressor (now discontinued) had the Attack & Clipping controls inside the pedal. It does that with four easy-to-use controls: Sustain, Level, Attack, & Clipping. The Keeley C4 4-Knob Compressor is designed to do two things: compress your guitar signal and provide smooth sustain. Visit Keeley Electronics for more info about the C4 4-Knob Compressor.
