Zoia - Compressor

Does anyone get good sounds out of the zoia compressor?

I love to use very hard compression on clean electric guitar signals but I dont get the right sound out of the zoia compressor.

I also dont understand how to see the gain reduction…

There’s no gain meter, so only by ear.

I’d guess that the compressor has been made really transparent, so if you wsnt it to colour your tone maybe you could add saturation or eq to the signal.

I think it’s fine, you could chain compressors within Zoia if you want, nothing wrong with that

I added the basic recipe I have for creating a gain reduction meter to the Compressor section of Tips and Tricks: Empress ZOIA/Zebu Tips, Tricks, and Explanations - Google Dokument
