The Kramer PIE Compressor is modeled on the Pye, which was a mainstay in esteemed British studios throughout the classic rock era, and considered by many to be one of the best bus compressors of all time.

PIE Controls:
Threshold: sets the gain reference point beyond which compression begins.

Ratio: controls the amount of gain reduction for signal above the threshold.

Decay Time (Release Time): sets the recovery speed of the gain attenuation when the input drops below the threshold.

Output: sets the output level.

Meter Select: toggles between Input, Output, and Gain Reduction metering.

Analog: controls analog characteristics caused by noise floor and hum, based on the power supplies of the original units.

VU Meter: displays input or output level in dBVU.

Clip LED: lights up when levels exceed 0 dBFS.

VU Calibrate: controls the VU meter headroom calibration.
