A good starting point is to set the Dual Threshold knob fully CCW so that the compressor\u2019s threshold is least-sensitive. By using the input level control and driving more level into the detector, not only will you control the saturation of the fully differential tube path, but be able to compress to any amount using a low 1.5:1 ratio. As you turn the Dual Threshold clockwise, you get more compression at higher and higher ratios, although it may require readjusting the input gain control and the unit\u2019s output level.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire detailed review you can find here.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mixonline.com\/technology\/review-retro-instruments-revolver-dual-channel-tube-compressor\">https:\/\/www.mixonline.com\/technology\/review-retro-instruments-revolver-dual-channel-tube-compressor<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dual-Channel Tube Compressor Recalls the Vintage Audio Gear of Yesteryear Retro Instruments\u2019 Revolver is the company\u2019s latest all-tube processor, having started out as an experiment back in 2011.
