OVERVIEW The Koji Comp is an easy to use analog compressor designed to offer a wealth of popular stompbox and studio style compression effects. With a simple twist of the Mix control, or flick of Koji's Voice switch, you can easily create a limitless range of compression effects. Whether you choose subtle, transparent compression for smoothing out your rhythms, or dial in warm and squishy tones to take you into R&B and Country territory - the Koji Comp might be the last compressor you will ever need. CONTROLS The Koji Comp features an easy to tweak control layout which includes: Compression, Level, Attack, Mix, and a three position Voice switch. COMP (Compression):This control determines the amount of compression (gain reduction) applied to your signal path. At lower settings, (0 - 2) this control produces a subtle, smoothing effect, ideal for the player looking to even out their dynamics without dramatically altering their tone. At middle settings, (3 - 6) this control offers increased compression for a more percussive, dramatic response, favored by players seeking tones heard on classic R&B and Funk recordings of the 70's and 80's. At higher settings (7-10), this control offers all of the classic squish that vintage stompboxes are known for... and more. LEVEL: Adjusts the overall output level of the Koji Comp. Use this control to compensate for the amount of Compression/Gain Reduction applied to your signal path. MULTI-FUNCTION LED Gain Reduction Indicator: The LED indicator that displays the amount of Gain Reduction based on the ratio of your instrument's signal and the level of compression in your signal. Green - Minimal Gain Reduction Orange - Moderate Gain Reduction Red - Maximum Gain Reduction (This is not a bad thing) On / Off Indicator: The LED indicator displays the on / off effect status.

Selectable Bypass Modes The Koji Comp offers the following bypass modes: True Hardwire Bypass (TBYP): A hard-wire bypass (via relay) removes the pedal from the signal path. Use this setting in setups where there are a few pedals and relatively short cables. (Default Setting) Buffered Bypass (BUF): Select the Buffered Bypass if you use long lengths of cable between your pedals and your amplifier, or employ a long chain of pedals.
