• Bolumena: Sets the overall output level of the pedal.
• nahasten: Mixes the dry, uncompressed signal with the compressed signal. This allows for parallel compression, preserving natural dynamics while adding sustain.

Ezaugarri nagusiak:

• Advanced dynamic control for guitar signals.
• Blend knob for parallel compression.
• Designed to maintain playing dynamics without altering tone.
• Versatile for various compression styles, from subtle to pronounced.
• Suitable for "always on" use or as a specific effect.

3. Konfigurazioa

3.1. Potentzia-eskakizunak

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. Connecting the Pedal

1. Connect your guitar to the pedal's input jack.
2. Connect the pedal's output jack to your amplifijadorea edo zure seinale-kateko hurrengo pedala.
3. Connect the appropriate power supply to the DC input.
4. Piztu aurretik, ziurtatu konexio guztiak seguru daudela.

4. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

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

4.1. Oinarrizko Funtzionamendua

1. Start with all knobs at their 12 o'clock position.
2. Egokitu Eutsi knob to increase or decrease the compression level. Higher settings provide more sustain.
3. Erabili Erasoa 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. The Tonua knob allows you to fine-tune the high-frequency content of the compressed signal.
5. Egokitu Bolumena knob to match the output level of the pedal to your bypassed signal or to provide a slight boost.
6. The Nahastu 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.

5. Mantentzea

Wampler Ego Compressor V2 is a robust pedal designed for durability.

• Keep the pedal clean and free from dust and debris.

• When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply.
• If using a battery, remove it when the pedal is not in use to prevent leakage.
• Use only approved 9V-18V DC center-negative power supplies.

6. Arazoak

6.1. Soinurik ez

• Egiaztatu kable guztien konexioak (sarrera, irteera, potentzia).
• Ziurtatu elikatze-iturria behar bezala konektatuta dagoela eta bolumen egokia ematen duelatage (9V-18V DC, center negative).
• Verify the guitar and amplifikatzaileak behar bezala funtzionatzen du.
• Check if the pedal is engaged (LED illuminated).
