BugBrand AudioWeevil08 Manual

BugBrand AudioWeevil08
Thankyou for choosing an AudioWeevil!
There are a multitude of sounds hidden within – but please read this manual first to get an
understanding of the internal signal paths. While I hope the layout will quickly become natural
to you, there are likely to be some surprises in store!
External Input - the external 1/4" jack accepts a wide range of signals from low-level (eg
guitar) up to line-level. The input section offers two boost stages based on a CMOS overdrive
design ranging from clean to heavy-crunching dependent on the input level, Drive setting and
the Thru mode switch. The Gain1 stage is a clean driver useful for cleanly amplifying the input
signal, while the Gain2 stage is much higher gain, resulting in driven sounds. There is also the
Disto switch which adds in a fixed lo-pass filter across Gain2 to give darker drive results.
The input also generates a square-wave for use in the Weevil section – this always goes
through both gain stages before entering a Squarer ( ExtSqr ). The results depend on external
signal level (eg set on an external mixing desk) combined with the input Drive control –
experiment for best results! Note – due to the gain nature of the input there can often be
some Weevil-y signal bleed even with the Ring mix totally down. See end note for more
details.
Source Mixer - you can blend the audio input Thru signal and the Ring signal pre-filter.
Wasp Filter – this powerful filter design is based on the classic EDP Wasp synth core and
offers variable Q (resonance) and multimode outputs of Low / Band / High pass. The filter
cutoff frequency is also modulated by the LFO.
