Drive
This effect models a compact effect unit or amp head.
Type (DriveType)............................ *1 Drive type
Drive (DriveGain) ................... 1...100 Depth of distortion
Level (Level) .......................... 0...100 Output level
Tube (TubeType) ....... SS, 1-99, Burn! Vacuum tube characteristics
Bias (TubeBias) ....................... 0-100 Vacuum tube bias level

: TubeType
This parameter lets you vary the way in which the sound is distorted
by vacuum tubes. It simulates the way that distortion is influenced
by the amplitude, number of vacuum tubes, and their age. As you
increase the value of this parameter, non-linear distortion will
increase, and the overtone structure will change. It is best to raise the
Drive value, and then adjust the Tube value.
: TubeBias
This parameter adjusts the bias point of the vacuum tubes that dis-
tort the sound. In conjunction with the Tube parameter, this will vary
the overtone structure. The Bias parameter will have a greater effect
when the Tube setting is high.
NR
(Noise Reduction)
This effect suppresses noise.
Thrsh (Threshold) ...........–40.0...–1.0 Sets the level at which the effect
NR2
(Noise Reduction2)
This effect reduces the noise.
It is optimized specifically for use in a pre-amp chain.
Thrshl (Threshold) ..........–40.0...–0.0 Level at which noise reduction
Decay (Decay) ..........................0...20 Decay time
: Threshold
Threshold must be adjusted according to the input level.
Since the input level of a guitar will differ depending on
whether it has single-coil or humbucking pickups, adjust the
input trim to an appropriate level before you adjust Threshold.
For a single-coil guitar, leave the trim set to approximately -10 at
a point where the noise is not too loud, and then adjust Thresh-
old so that the sound is not cut off unnaturally.
Since NR2 is optimized specifically for pre-amp, it operates dif-
ferently than NR.
