Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

its hard to explain for me, because i dont know enough about them, but to my understanding, they either boost or get rid of dynamics to keep them in a range you define.. or something.

It makes your really quiets a little louder and your really louds a little quieter so that there isn't a huge difference in the volume of your playing.
