It can also be switched to function either as a compressor or a limiter, with attack times fixed at 20ms and 1ms respectively.
It has a switchable release time, which is fixed at 150ms in the fast setting, and automatically variable between 20ms and 3s when set to slow. The compressor has far fewer controls than is typical, and is set to a fixed 2:1 ratio, but it's not as limited in operation as this might suggest.
The output signal can be switched from line to instrument level, allowing you to feed line-level gear or guitar/bass amps alike. There is LED metering of both gain and any 'tube warmth' you decide to add. (For unbalanced operation the maximum gain is reduced to 64dB, which is plenty for most applications.) Both unbalanced quarter-inch jacks and balanced XLR inputs and outputs are available, as are 48V phantom power, a switchable first-order 70Hz low-cut filter and a polarity-inversion facility. The mic/instrument preamp section offers up to 80dB of gain in total, with 40dB gain via the input gain control, a gain button to add a further 20dB, and yet another 20dB available courtesy of an output level control.
