Preset Threshold and Response
Compression and Level are the available user controls for adjusting processing and mix placement.

Independent shopping perspective
Carl Martin’s Comp Limiter puts compression and limiting into a compact analog pedal with a deliberately simple control layout. Threshold and Response are preset, leaving Compression to set the amount of processing and Level to place the result in the mix. That makes on-the-fly adjustment straightforward while retaining the unit’s studio-quality compression design. Its DC/DC converter runs the circuit internally at ±12V, while the pedal takes a regular external 9V DC, 200mA supply.
