Just make sure that stereo-coupling is off and use the undamaged side of the unit - the controls on the Behringer are pretty-much exactly as described.
I think you have a string of LEDs showing 'gain reduction' (compression) too - if they don't light-up, you need to up the input gain or reduce the threshold, play around with the other controls and you'll soon get the hang.
The limiter is useful, but set so it never quite comes on whilst playing, only when you bang all the strings with a large hammer.
Small ratios sound more natural, large (over 4 or so) sound increasingly weird and distorted, and basically it starts to act more like a limiter - but you've got one of those after the compressor, so there's also little point...[/quote]
Many thanks for that, I will take a look and see what i can do!
Atleast i could still use it.
Cheers
