I guess what we're talking about is a compressor. It would be easier if
uniform language were used.
I had a compressor/sustainer special effects pedal that did this same
effect (on guitar). What it did is chop off the peaks and lows so as to
give a uniform level. Always wanted to try it on a bass, as the dynamic
range between the low E and G always bothered me (I'd go back and
forth), but never got rid of it before trying it on bass.
I imagine the compressor part is what does the levelling off.
