Yes.ll in 12.06... I had this issue & it has been resolved.Have the issues with the perform tab been sorted? , showing Amp instead of a specific value, or is this still on the to do list?

Here we go. I ramble on about how I like to use the various comp types so hopefully there's some useful information somewhere in there.
Agreed, but I thought that's what makeup gain switch was supposed to do (remove the need to manually apply makeup gain) ...I don't find this strange at all. I have to have around 8 dB to get unity gain at certain settings.
Try and turn it off. The output will be even lower.Agreed, but I thought that's what makeup gain switch was supposed to do (remove the need to manually apply makeup gain) ...

For myself I love compressors and gates. I use them on just about everything. In regards to the settings of the gates, I might suggest adjusting the bandwidth of the un-gated signal between 500 HZ - 1500HZ as a starting point. This will tighten up your sound even more and may possibly get rid of that sympathetic headstock ring you referred to.
In regards to the compression settings, many times less is more, especially when incorporating a faster attack time. This strategy, for me, works better especially when using a Strat and playing with more clean or full bandwidth EQ settings. Lower attack settings in the neighborhood of 1.1 to 1.3 ms with compression of 1.3 to 1.8 on hard attack allow much more pleasing volume increases especially when playing with some sharper ice-pick EQ settings. Then adjust the threshold to taste rather than increasing compression. Just my two cents in the discussion...
That's a good sign....Ha! I got as far as putting a preset together with a bunch of different amps and compressor types, started riffing and something popped out that I couldn't resist recording.
Gonna have to try that. Hopefully won't end up like this:Turn on makeup gain.
Myself as well.I'm actually looking forward to this update. I have tried compressors for years...and never liked the 'squash' of dynamics it did with my tone.
Time for fun.
Try the Dynamicomp model (or whatever it's called) in front of the amp block. You hardly notice it's on until you turn it off mid-note....I'm actually looking forward to this update. I have tried compressors for years...and never liked the 'squash' of dynamics it did with my tone.

Try the non-pedal varieties and keep the compression ratio low.I'm actually looking forward to this update. I have tried compressors for years...and never liked the 'squash' of dynamics it did with my tone.

It depends on the level of the source too, if it's very quiet...Hmmm... I only recently got my III, so I have very little experience with the tube compressor. But these settings give me only 3 dB Gain reduction with a post-amp signal.

I would definitely expect a -60 dB threshold and 2.58 compression to produce more compression. Any thoughts on this. It actually sounds like I want it to, so I am not complaining, just wondering. Is the compression control a 'ratio' control with an extremely soft knee perhaps?
That is true - But this is already the level, I would use to run to out of the Axe and straight to FOH (Vol 1 at 100%), and I am not too far from clipping the output (but far enough )It depends on the level of the source too, if it's very quiet...

Yes indeedExcellent as always Leon. Are you using the Return and Send blocks in the video just so that the preset is completely visible on the screen?
Thanks!

I just threw that on my preset I had open and fairly leveled and it is doing like 16 dBThat is true - But this is already the level, I would use to run to out of the Axe and straight to FOH (Vol 1 at 100%), and I am not too far from clipping the output (but far enough )
I love that compressor too.The Studio Compressor is really nice now. I compared it to my favorite hardware unit (dbx 266XL) and the Studio Compressor sounds and measures better (less distortion at low attack/release times).
I love that compressor too.
Damn...this is making me think I should be using one 'chain' in my Axe3 for live vocal effects (and compression)
