=About the Multiband Compressor block=

A multiband compressor consists of multiple compressors working in parallel, each operating on a separate band of frequencies. Fractal Audio's Multiband Compressor employs 3 compressors. They work independently, so "pumping" in one band does not affect the others. An MBC is often used for mastering.

The  Multiband Compressor block doesn't support [[Global blocks]].

=To tweak or not to tweak=

In-depth programming of the Multiband Compressor is possible, but even at default settings, placed after Amp/Cab, it'll performing fine. [https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/recommendations-for-full-bodied-clean-solo-tone.103410/post-1237668]
