I was messing with a bass track last night to get a feel for the unit and I have a couple of questions.
Should I be hitting the input enough to see a little gain reduction on a bass guitar ? I was tring to punch it up a bit but everything I tried seemed to be very suttle at best. I know it is subjective, a use your ears kinda thing but I'm wondering what settings a more experienced (distressorist) :) might use.

Or maybe your approuch to gain staging this unit. There is no theshold control on the distressor so it's a little different than what I'm use to.
Obviously the input has a lot to do with the attitude of the compression but I'm just wondering what others might do.

The Input knob is your threshold - turn it up, until you see (and hear) something happen...

Have fun!!

Look at the manual that came with the distressor, there are alot of awesome settings to get u started for number of different instruments. Other than that just pound that thing and listen while u tweak. This device is AWESOME and has a characteristic that no other compressor has. I've tried it on everything at least once and have found a use for it every time. Good luck and happy distressing!!!!!!
