Blend knob
Use the Blend knob to set the balance between
your dry sound and the compressed signal. With
the maximum setting, you will only hear the com-
pressed signal. Use lower settings for some sub-
tle sparkle and extra presence.
Using Blend creatively
Usually, dynamic processors such as compres-
sors are used as insert effects, with no dry (un-
processed) signal passing through. But with
HyperGravity Compressor's Blend knob, you
can use parallel compression (sometimes called
„New York style compression"). Originally, this
technique was mainly used for drums, where the
dry drum sound was mixed with a heavily com-
pressed version of the same signal. The same
approach works great for guitar signals. Results
will vary depending on your playing style and the
settings of the other control knobs. Experiment
to find the perfect balance!
Running HyperGravity Compressor
in a parallel effects loop
If you use HyperGravity Compressor in a parallel
effects loop, you should set the Blend knob to its
maximum position to remove the dry signal from
the pedal's output.
Level and Blend settings interact
If you set both Level and Blend knobs to high
values, the compressed signal will be signifi-
cantly louder than the uncompressed version.
On the other hand, if you set Level to Zero or a
very low setting, there will be no signal for Blend
to control.

desired compression mode.
Spectra setting
Set the Compression type selector to "Spectra"
to apply studio-quality compression to your sig-
nal.
TonePrint setting
To use TonePrint-based compressor configu-
rations, set the Compression type selector to
"TonePrint". For more information, see "Tone-
Print".
Vintage setting
Set the Compression type selector to "Vintage"
to jump straight into those old-school com-
pression tones of yesteryear. With this setting,
you get all of the squeeze and squash associ-
ated with classical stompbox compression. It is
perfect for percussive country tones, tight funk
sounds or sweet Gilmour sustain.
