What is everyone's favorite settings on this box?
Not that it's very complicated, just 2 knobs, but was just wondering.
Also what use is the -15db switch? Why would anybody want to go down -15db? In case of an active bass?

I think the thread title should be "Opto Stomp, Optimum Settings"

For jazz or old school stuff the comp will be as high as 7, for rock and pop more like between 4 and 5. I use it to smoooth out the edges and also to keep things in line when I slap. |

We don't need no steenkin' -15 db switch! Overall, a great compressor and surefire cure-all for the compulsive knob tweakers.
