Ok, will do.

Whether it is compressed or limited or gated...I don't know. I've seen a few people complain/inquire about this "feature", and they called it compression, so I just borrowed the terminology.  Apparently, Orange thought this was a good idea to protect the speaker, I suppose, to take the initial "thump" out of the bass when a note is struck, according to some other forums I've read. This isn't a "fault" - this is by Orange's design. It was meant to do this. >:-(

As far as "limit" or "compress", I'm not sure which, sorry. I can only describe it as the volume is a bit lower for a few milliseconds, then "releases" to a fuller sound/volume. If I play a note/chord and let it ring out, the volume will be "lower" or "compressed" (limited??)  for just a little bit, then release, and the note will ring out like normal.

This issue is really annoying when playing fast, but it's not an "issue" in that there is nothing faulty or broken - it was meant to be that way straight from the factory. It is even more "in your face" when I pug the line out into my PC and record...I think most people, like my wife, wouldn't notice it, but me, it is driving me nuts.

What I want to do is mod this thing, so it doesn't do that any more.

Urg..I've spent all morning on this instead of my paper...LOL. I gotta hit my homework for a while, and come back to this.

Thanks again for your input.
