Clean sound with a fat character
When the clean tone of the amplifier lacks a bit of body, the PD-01 can
provide improvement with very moderate settings. The GAIN setting is the
key. When set to a point where distortion is barely noticeable, the sound
will have more body and punch. Unlike with conventional overdrive effects,
you can create a sharp, fat sound.
Booster sample 1: clean & crunch
This is a special way to use the PD-01. Set GAIN to zero and raise the
level to get great booster performance. Set the amplifier to clean tone for
backing, and then set the PD-01 to ON to obtain a natural crunch sound
produced by the amplifier in conjunction with the PD-01.
Booster sample 2: drive & distortion
Set up the amplifier to create a drive sound for backing, and activate the
PD-01 for playing solos. The PD-01 is great for this technique, which is
often used with large stack amps in the British style. Thanks to the booster
function, you'll get incredibly distinct distortion sound.
