I guess what we're talking about is a compressor. It would be easier if uniform language were used. I had a compressor/sustainer special effects pedal that did this same effect (on guitar). What it did is chop off the peaks and lows so as to give a uniform level. Always wanted to try it on a bass, as the dynamic range between the low E and G always bothered me (I'd go back and forth), but never got rid of it before trying it on bass. I imagine the compressor part is what does the levelling off. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
