Attack

Slow lets the kick and snare hit through before the glue grabs, for more punch. Fast flattens the hits for a tight, dense sound.

Using it on your drums

Glue
Turns the compressor up. Threshold and ratio move together, so one knob goes from a light touch to a heavy squash.
Heat
Soft tape-style saturation after the compressor. It rounds off peaks and adds warmth without making the kit louder.
Mix
Below 100% blends the clean kit back in. A heavy Glue setting at 40–60% Mix is classic parallel compression.
Output
Use it to match levels with Bypass, so you judge the tone and not just the loudness. The Level change readout helps.
Bypass
Flip it on and off while the loop plays. Good glue sounds like the kit is in one room, not like it got quieter.
Your own drums
Load a WAV or MP3 loop, such as a Golpe, Cuero or Polvo demo, to hear Pegamento on your own sounds.
