When I took it out of the box I intuitively assumed that turning it all the way counter-clockwise turned both compression and de-essing to zero, which turning the knob clockwise increased both. However, I was surprised to see another reviewer state that a left twist increased compression, while a right twist increased de-essing. The manual does not make this matter any more clear. I did e-mail TC Helicon's support deptartment and they confirmed the opinion of the reviewer. I'm still not sure - as I sometimes have found that techs on support lines get it wrong as well. Do you know how this knob operates? Hi Travis,

My #1 choice during rehearsals, performances, or when it's necessary that I speak for any length of time. As for the inhaler, it retains it "potency" for several months if you are sure to keep it sealed up. Definitely a fantastic product for clearing the sinuses..... You won't find anything like this on the shelf in your pharmacy, etc. Highly recommended products !!! Excellent tea(s) !
