    21 Using the 20/20 AD 20/20 AD User Guide When RELEASE is set to 0, the compressor acts like an amplifier with a non- linear transfer function. For example, setting GAIN to 6dB and THRESHOLD to -14dB produces a close approximation of a generic tape saturation curve. This mode is also useful for overload protection of some types of percussive instru ...
