Special Effects; Tube Replacement - Art Project Series User Manual

Special Effects

For industrial, metal, or just "flavor" textures, experiment with the Tube MP/C. Overdriving the preamp and
compressor circuitry can add interesting textures when blended with vocals and other instruments. Placing
signals purposely out of phase can also yield interesting results. No harm will come to the Tube MP/C with this
type of experimentation. However, be sure to have output and monitoring levels turned DOWN before "testing"
the sound. Remember, you have a great amount of gain available in the Tube MP/C!

TUBE REPLACEMENT

The tube in your Tube MP/C should last for many years. The tube used in your unit is hand selected for
performance. In the event that you need to replace it, A R T suggests that you do so with tubes available from A
R T. These are matched to the Tube MP/C and will yield consistent sonic results. You may replace the tube with
other brands; however, A R T assumes no responsibility for the resulting sound quality. They may sound better;
they may sound worse. The choice is yours. Please realize that unauthorized alterations to the Tube MP/C will
result in voiding the warranty.
