Need Compressor Help

  • I understand in theory what a compressor does, but am baffled by the various parameters one can set. No matter. With many of the commercial rigs I've purchased, MBritt's in particular, a compressor is loaded into slot A and is always on. I can hear the difference - and like the result - when it is always on. Cleans things up, seems to improve dynamics, subtle but obvious.


    But, there are more than a few occasions where I'd like an extra slot. If I could remove the comp from slot A and use the Amp section comp instead that would help a lot.


    So, can you suggest how I can use either the stomp compressor or amp compressor interchangeably?


    For reference, the comp settings on (at least) the MBritt rigs are:

    - intensity 5.5

    - attack 6.4

    - squash 1.3

    - mix 45%


    The amp section comp only has a "Compressor" setting that ranges from 0.0 to 10.0.


    Can I make the two sound and work the same? If so, how?
