Processors and Effects

A Reverb usualy gives you the choice of how much effects signal(also called WET part) and how much of the original signal(also called DRY part) you'd like to the plugin to output.

A processor doesn't have this option by nature. The EQ(ualizer) and the Compressor are processors. To mix the original signal and the processed signal doesn't make sense for these processors. Their output is always 100% WET.

Not only do they output 100% WET signal, but nobody usualy mixes the unprocessed signals with the processed either. They do so with Reverb and Delay signals.

Processors are usualy placed in an INSERT, which means they sit in the channel. The EQs on your stereo or soundcard mixer work like this. The signal passes through them.
