Backseat Driver features a set of internal controls for further adjustments:

Release Time Trimmer - Adjusts the response speed of the compressor. Increase for slower response speed, Decrease for a snappier response. Warning setting speed very fast will cause the compressor to become unreponsive.

Output Level Trimmer - Trims the output level up or down. Useful if using Vintage voice with low Sustain settings.

Emitter Resistor Adjustment Trimmer - Adjusts the "window" of the drive control. Increase for more distortion. Maxing this trimmer results in fuzz.

Envelope Detector Dip Switch - Toggles between Full or Half Wave Envelope Detection. Half Wave Detection results in less compression.
