Hi all! I just wonder about the filter section on this compressor. I can see there are low pass, high pass, band pass filter, but there is also something to the furthest left looking like -...what is that? And what if i don't want a filter? Thanx in advance.
The filters are for the side-chaining. For instance, using the (internal) HPF, a heavy kick drum or other low-end content (bass) does not trigger excessive gain reduction.
The filters (EQ) are not applied to the sound file and only would affect the gain reduction. If you do not want to filter the SC (Side Chain) input, set the SC EQ switch to the far left which is 'flat'.
