3.1. Valdymo rankenėlės

• Išlaikyti: Adjusts the compression ratio and increases sustain. As your signal decays, it will increase volume to create longer sustain.
• Ataka: Adjusts how fast the compressor recovers from louder signals. A faster attack allows more of the initial transient through, while a slower attack compresses the initial transient more.
• Lygis: Adjusts the final output volume of the compressor. At the 12 o'clock position, the input and output volume are balanced.
• Riba: Controls the size of the input signal going into compression and generates limiting effects.

3.2. Tone Switch

The toggle switch allows selection between two distinct tonal modes:

• Natūralus: This mode utilizes the original circuit, maintaining the original input and output tone consistency.
• Ryškus: This mode adds high frequencies to the signal, catering to users who prefer crisp and bright tones, often desired for funky styles.

3.3. True Bypass

The pedal features true bypass circuitry. When the pedal is disengaged (effect off), the signal passes directly through the pedal without any coloration or degradation, preserving your instrument's natural tone.
