T-Rex NEOCOMP Operation & User’s Manual
Text of the manual
on your purchase of the NEOCOMP, a premium boutique
compressor from T-Rex Effects.
The NEOCOMP makes it easy to add sustain to power
chords, smoothen out single note lines and more - With up
to 9:1 studio-grade compression modelled on the legend-
ary Blackmer ® VCA.
Your NEOCOMP comes with the classic set of compression
control essentials, described on the next page of this man-
ual. Compression is a subtle effect where details matter, so
you’ll want to get to know these controls well.
Congratulations
The ATTACK knob determines how quickly the compres-
sion effect kicks in. A fast attack is very noticeable, while
a slower attack produces a more natural sound, where the
subtleties of your pick or finger attack are audible before
the compression kicks in. And finally, the RELEASE knob
controls how long your NEOCOMP “hangs on” to your
compressed sound before allowing it to decay naturally.
In addition to experimenting on your own, we recom-
mend searching the internet for additional guidance on
compression settings—especially settings for specific in-
struments, such as acoustic guitar.
Four controls determine the character of your NEOCOMP
compressed sound: COMP, GAIN, ATTACK and RELEASE.
The COMP knob determines how much your sound is
compressed—from 1:1, or no compression at all, to 9:1,
which is a quite heavy “squeeze”. As you turn the COMP
knob up, this naturally reduces volume, an volume reduc-
tion is part of the compression process. Use the GAIN
know to compensate for this and bring your compressed
sound up to an acceptable level.
