Which model? Original, or XO? Knob settings will be a bit different.

Try the SQSH / LED setting.

Keep the compression level below 12:00 if you want to maintain some natural attack.

The Pre-Gain and Post-Gain settings are going to be different for every rig. No real way to post standard settings of those. It depends on how hot your pickups are, or how much gain is coming into the White Finger.

A general rule of thumb for me is to set the Pre-Gain so that the light shows some dynamic range, from dim, to bright. You don’t want the light to be bright all the time, unless you like brick-wall limiting.

I usually set the Post-Gain so that there is unity volume between the bypassed signal and the effected signal when playing hard.

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot. It helped quite a bit.

my favourite:

Squash OFF (it has too slow attack for me i guess)/LED

Post Gain at noon, pre gain at 10
Sensitivity at like 2 o’clock and Compression at 9 o’clock

sounds pretty natural to me

Yamaha 302S -> Crybaby -> Electronic Orange Moon Face -> EHX Stereo Polyphase -> Catalinbread DLS -> F5 Tap Tremolo -> Carl Martin Red Repeat -> EHX SMMH -> George Dennis Mighty Mouse 1x12

I’m not really sure what the hell is going on

my favourite (XO Version):

12:30 Post Gain
ON Squash
LED
11:00 Sensitivity
11:30 Compress
12:00 Pre Gain

Everything is buttery smooth but not particularly muffled in this setting.
