Shift+Clicking the 10:1 button sets the Attack and Release to 10 and 0 respectively - the recommended settings on the Distressor for emulating classic opto-VCA compressors of old, such as the LA-2A and LA-3A. The 20:1 Ratio is similar to Nuke but with a different knee and linear release.įinally, 10:1 switches to an entirely different circuit, for Opto-style compression. In between those two extremes, the 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 6:1 Ratios work to an increasingly steep knee, with 6:1 proving the most ‘general purpose’ of the lot, and 2:1’s exceptionally long knee making it ideal for gentle treatments. ![]() ![]() Even 1:1 has an audible effect, introducing beautifully warming distortion while at the other end of the scale, the famous Nuke setting applies energetic brick wall limiting with a logarithmic release. ![]() The Distressor’s exceptionally versatile list of Ratio settings, each with their own threshold and knee shapes, are central to its sound and ‘action’.
