Sidechain Select

You can use the signal that's present at the beginning of the grid to feed the compressor, even if the compressor block is placed further on the grid (Sidechain Select).

Release in pedal mode

• Cliff: "Pedal compressors typically have very long release times so the time is scaled by 10 for pedal mode. The time in studio mode is accurate to within a microsecond." Source
• Cliff: "The times are the classic "time constants" for analog circuits, i.e. the time it takes for a signal to settle to 37% of it's final value (e^-1)." Source
