3. Instellen

3.1. Stroomvereisten

De Wampler Ego Compressor V2 requires a 9V-18V DC power supply (center negative). It can also be powered by a 9V battery. Ensure the power supply meets these specifications to prevent damage.

3.2. Het pedaal aansluiten

1. Connect your guitar to the pedal's input jack.
2. Connect the pedal's output jack to your ampversterker of het volgende pedaal in je signaalketen.
3. Connect the appropriate power supply to the DC input.
4. Zorg ervoor dat alle aansluitingen goed vastzitten voordat u het apparaat inschakelt.

4. Gebruiksaanwijzing

To activate the Wampler Ego Compressor V2, press the footswitch. The LED indicator will illuminate when the pedal is active.

4.1. Basisbediening

1. Start with all knobs at their 12 o'clock position.
2. Pas de Aanhouden knob to increase or decrease the compression level. Higher settings provide more sustain.
3. Gebruik de Aanval knob to control the compressor's response time. A faster attack (counter-clockwise) will compress the initial transient more quickly, while a slower attack (clockwise) allows more of the initial pick attack to pass through.
4. De Toon knob allows you to fine-tune the high-frequency content of the compressed signal.
5. Pas de Volume knob to match the output level of the pedal to your bypassed signal or to provide a slight boost.
6. De Mengen knob is crucial for mixing your dry signal with the compressed signal. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of compressed signal, while counter-clockwise increases the dry signal. This allows for transparent compression without losing dynamic feel.

4.2. Tips for Optimal Use

• For subtle, "always-on" compression, set Sustain and Attack moderately, and use the Blend knob to mix in a significant portion of your dry signal.
• For pronounced country "chicken-pickin'" tones, increase Sustain, set Attack to a faster response, and adjust Blend to taste.
• Experiment with the Tone knob to brighten or darken the compressed sound, especially when using higher Sustain settings.
