The Monster is an extreme dynamic processor capable of explosive and dramatic compression effects, based on the classic "all-buttons mode" of a famous vintage FET compressor.
- GR Meter: Displays the amount of compression in decibels (dB).
- Attack: Controls how quickly compression kicks in after the signal exceeds the threshold. Clockwise = faster; counterclockwise = slower.
- Release: Determines how quickly compression stops once the signal falls below the threshold. Clockwise = faster; counterclockwise = slower.
-
Input / Output: Boosting Input Gain increases compression. Unity gain occurs when Input + Output = 0 dB.
Tip: Hold Shift to link both controls and maintain level balance while adjusting. - Punch: Adds an additional transient attack to enhance punch and impact.
- High Pass Filter: Applies a high-pass filter to the compressor’s sidechain to ignore low-end frequencies.
- High Frequency Detection: Engages a high-frequency bell EQ in the sidechain to soften overly bright signals.
- Mix: Blends compressed and uncompressed signals—great for parallel compression workflows without external routing.
