What's the difference between 'ratio' and 'threshold' on a compressor pedal?

Threshold determines when compression begins; ratio dictates how much the signal is reduced once that threshold is reached.

What does 'knee' refer to in compressor pedal settings?

'Knee' describes how gradually or abruptly the compressor engages – a soft knee is more transparent, a hard knee more aggressive.

Why would I need a 'true bypass' switch on a compressor pedal?

True bypass ensures the pedal has minimal impact on your signal when disengaged, preserving your instrument's original tone.
