The DRAGON is the result of two years of extensive research in

analog processing. Its circuit was designed so that it could represent

the ultimate achievement in versatility, sound, and ease of use.

At the heart of the DRAGON is an extremely hi-fi transformer

balanced CLASS A signal path with FET based dynamic reduction. In

order to make the DRAGON a true chameleon in analog hardware,

numerous features were added to customize the DRAGON’s sound to

any source.

During shipping, the DRAGONs VU meter needle may have shifted.

To adjust the VU meter, use a 1/8” flat head screwdriver to rotate the

trim pot located in the hole under the meter.

DRAGON BASICS

INPUT and RATIO

The DRAGON’s custom transformer balanced input dictates how much

compression will be produced in relation to the ratio control. In other

words, the higher the input level that enters the unit, the more the

signal will cross the given ratio’s threshold, resulting in more

compression. There are 5 ratios on the DRAGON ranging from a

gentle 2:1 to a limiter style 20:1. Consult the presets section for a

good reference on where to use certain ratios.

SQUASH

By selecting the 20:1 ratio and then engaging the “squash” selector,

the unit goes into the classic ‘all four buttons in’ overdrive made

famous by a well known vintage FET compressor. This setting is useful

on any source that needs a larger then life sound with lots of

excitement. It is especially useful on drum room ambient mics.

Unique to the DRAGON, the “squash” control works on any

compression ratio, with the 20:1 emulating the classic sound.

*NOTE: The “squash” setting is still affected by the “attack” and

“release” controls.

ATTACK and RELEASE

The DRAGON’s “attack” and “release” controls affect how quickly the

compression circuit moves in and out of gain reduction. These

controls are a major determining factor of how the unit sounds on a

given source. Consult the preset section for some starting points.
