5.1.2 SAVING A PRESET
1. Press and hold PRESET/DATA for two seconds. The selected preset now starts to blink to illustrate
that you are about to overwrite a preset position.
2. Turn PRESET/DATA to select the preset slot to where you want to save your sound, and then press
[YES].
3. (Optional) Turn PRESET/DATA to the character you wish to edit. Press and hold [SETTINGS] and
then turn PRESET/DATA to move the cursor to the desired character and select it by releasing
[SETTINGS]. To delete a character, turn PRESET/DATA to move the cursor to highlight the charac-
ter after the one you wish to delete, then press and hold [SETTINGS] and press [NO] twice.
4. Press [YES] to save the preset.
5.2 ACTIVE MODE
When you set the Active Mode to ON, the Analog Heat MKII affects the incoming signal. Active Mode is tog-
gled on and off by pressing [ON]. The light of the [ON] key indicates if the effect is active or not. You can
also use a Footswitch to toggle the Active Mode. For more information, please see "6.4 CONTROL IN" on
page 17. You also have the option to set if you want the Analog Heat MKII to start in active mode or not
when you turn it on. For more information, please see "6.3.2 ACTIVE AT START" on page 17. Turn Active
Mode OFF to bypass the effect.
5.3 EFFECT CIRCUITS
You can use the CIRCUIT SELECTOR to choose between 8 different types of effect circuits for a wide vari-
ety of drive and distortion sounds.
• CLEAN BOOST
Makes the signal louder. When fully driven, it sounds similar to overdriving old mixers. Use for minimal
distortion or when you only want to use the filter and EQ.
• SATURATION
This circuit is reminiscent of classic tape saturation. Woolly and warm.
• ENHANCEMENT
Adding tube-like glow and sheen to a track or loop.
• MID DRIVE
Mid-range focused overdrive with a solid and distinct body.
• ROUGH CRUNCH
Gritty, worn and gnarly character. Full of flavor.
• CLASSIC DIST
Pleasantly distorts upper mid-range frequencies. Ideal for acid bass lines.
• ROUND FUZZ
Adds a lot of harmonics and alters the signal in interesting and often unpredictable ways.
• HIGH GAIN
Probably the most aggressive of all the circuits. Very maxed out!
5.4 FILTER TYPES
Change the type of the filter by pressing one of the two [FILTER TYPE] keys. You can also press the two
[FILTER TYPE] keys simultaneously to toggle the filter on/off. It is possible to change the filter type even if
the filter is turned off.
There are seven different analog filter types in the Analog Heat MKII to help to shape the sound.
• LOW PASS 2 (two-pole, 12 dB per octave)
• LOW PASS 1 (one-pole, 6 dB per octave)
• BAND PASS
• HIGH PASS 1 (one-pole, 6 dB per octave)
• HIGH PASS 2 (two-pole, 12 dB per octave)
• BAND STOP (NOTCH)
• PEAK
5.5 EQUALIZER
LOW and HIGH adjust the amount of low-end and high-end frequency gain or attenuation of the effect
circuit. Each character circuit comes with its tailor-made equalizer characteristics. For more information,
please see "4.1 AUDIO SIGNAL FLOW" on page 12.
