This is a simple mix of the distorted signal relative to the dry undistorted input signal.
The overall gain or amplitude at the output of the effect. For distortion, it is often
necessary to turn the output gain down as the distortion drive is turned up.
Applies gain to the input prior to distortion. It is the basic Òdistortion driveÓ control.
Anything over 0 dB could clip. Normally clipping would be bad, but the distortion
algorithm tends to smooth things out. Still, considering that for some settings of the other
parameters you would have to back off the gain to -48 dB in order to get a not very
distorted sound for full scale input, you should go easy on this amount.
The curvature of the individual distortion stages. 0% is no curvature (no distortion at all).
At 100%, the curve bends over smoothly and becomes perfectly ßat right before it goes
into clipping.
These are the one pole low pass controls. LP0 Freq handles the initial low pass prior to the
Þrst distortion stage. The other low pass controls follow their respective distortion stages.
With all low passes out of the circuit (set to the highest frequency), the sound tends to be
too bright and raspy. With less distortion drive, less Þltering is needed. If you turn off a
distortion stage (set to 0%), you should turn of the low pass Þlter by setting it to the
highest frequency.
The amount of boost or cut that the bass shelving Þlter should apply to the low frequency
signals in dB. Every increase of 6 dB approximately doubles the amplitude of the signal.
Positive values boost the bass signal below the speciÞed frequency. Negative values cut
the bass signal below the speciÞed frequency.
The center frequency of the bass shelving Þlter in intervals of one semitone.
The amount of boost or cut that the treble shelving Þlter should apply to the high
frequency signals in dB. Every increase of 6 dB approximately doubles the amplitude of
the signal. Positive values boost the treble signal above the speciÞed frequency. Negative
values cut the treble signal above the speciÞed frequency.
The center frequency of the treble shelving Þlter in intervals of one semitone.
The amount of boost or cut that the mid parametric Þlter should apply in dB. Every
increase of 6 dB approximately doubles the amplitude of the signal. Positive values boost
the signal at the speciÞed frequency. Negative values cut the signal at the speciÞed
frequency.
The center frequency of the mid parametric Þlter in intervals of one semitone. The boost or
cut will be at a maximum at this frequency.
The bandwidth of the mid parametric Þlter may be adjusted. You specify the bandwidth
in octaves. Small values result in a very narrow Þlter response. Large values result in a
very broad response.
