Greetings!

First I have to say the mel9 is ridiculously awesome. Thanks and kudos on a job well done!

The instructions say compression can help and a lot of internet posts say the same thing, makes sense.

The problem I am trying to solve with compression on my mel9 is the occasional extra hard pluck makes the sound go from pleasant to jarring, and I’m pretty sure compression is the key (besides “don’t pluck so hard” of course, lol).

However I am a compression noob and can’t seem to dial in anything that makes any difference.

I am using an EHX Platform without the drive or swell engaged.

I’ve tried before and after the mel9 with a lot of variations of the upper knobs and buttons to no avail.

What would be some ideal setups for the Platform working on a mel9?

Help me EHX-kenobi, you’re my only hope!
