Operating the JHS 3 Series Compressor

The JHS 3 Series Compressor features intuitive controls for shaping your sound. Experiment with each knob and switch to discover the full range of its capabilities.

Stýringar

  • Graphic representation of the Volume knob.Hljóðstyrkur:

    This knob controls the overall output level of the pedal. It can be used to set the volume at unity gain (matching the bypassed signal level) or to provide a boost to your signal.

  • Graphic representation of the Attack knob.Attack Knob:

    The Attack knob adjusts how quickly the compressor reacts to the initial transient of your notes.

    • Turning the Attack knob clockwise (higher setting) results in a slower attack, allowing more of the initial pick attack or note transient to pass through before compression engages. This can create a punchier, more dynamic sound.
    • Turning the Attack knob counter-clockwise (lower setting) results in a faster attack, engaging compression more quickly and smoothing out the initial transient. This can lead to a more even, sustained sound.

  • Graphic representation of the Sustain knob.Sustain Knob:

    The Sustain knob controls the duration of the compression effect, influencing how long notes ring out.

    • Turning the Sustain knob clockwise increases the amount of sustain, making notes ring out longer and creating a more compressed sound.
    • Turning the Sustain knob counter-clockwise reduces sustain, resulting in a more natural decay and less compression.

  • Graphic representation of the Bright toggle switch.Bright Toggle Switch:

    This toggle switch engages a brighter EQ setting.

    • When engaged (up position), the Bright toggle adds high-end frequencies to your signal, helping your tone cut through a mix or preventing it from sounding dull, especially with heavy compression.
    • When disengaged (down position), the pedal operates with its standard EQ response.

Grunnaðgerð

  1. Ensure all connections are secure and the pedal is powered.
  2. Press the footswitch to activate the compressor. The LED will illuminate.
  3. Start with the Volume knob at unity gain (usually around 12 o'clock), Attack at 12 o'clock, and Sustain at 9 o'clock.
  4. Adjust the Sustain knob clockwise to increase the compression and sustain.
  5. Adjust the Attack knob to fine-tune the initial transient response. Slower attack for punch, faster attack for smoothness.
  6. Use the Bright toggle to add clarity if your tone sounds too dark or gets lost in the mix.
  7. Finally, adjust the Volume knob to achieve the desired output level.
