這個會不會更清晰..?
Next comes the unique Tone section. The first of these three pushbuttons selects the compression 'knee': Hard, Medium or Soft, which as one might expect affect the way the threshold is crossed. The settings are audibly very different, with the Soft setting sounding extremely smooth, and the Hard unsurprisingly the most audible effect. The unusual 'Thrust' button introduces a sloping filter to the gain reduction side-chain, thus reducing the effect of bass frequencies on the compressor. In the Medium or Loud settings this results in a much punchier sound, as the compressor responds less to the low frequency energy, allowing more compression to take place less audibly. I found this feature extremely effective, and it was a revelation, bringing mixes a much greater level of excitement - they suddenly sounded like great records! The third button selects New or Old type compression. This varies between old-style feedback compression as used by Urei 1176 and Fairchild 660 units, or the harder feed-forward circuit found in most newer VCA-based units. The Old setting is far smoother, as effectively the ratio never gets much past about a 5:1 ratio. The new setting put me in mind of the dbx 160, with an effect that you might think involves a higher ratio than the one selected.
