    You can also use a footswitch to toggle the active mode. You also have the option to set if you want the Analog Heat +FX to start as active or not when you turn it on 5.3 EFFECT CIRCUITS...

  • Page 19: Filter Type

    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 +FX to help to shape the sound.

  • Page 20: Drive

    5.6 DRIVE DRIVE sets the gain level in the effect circuit in the Heat block. A higher setting increases the effect of the selected circuit type, typically resulting in more distortion. 5.7 LEVEL LEVEL sets the level of the signal coming from the effect of the Heat block. It is applied before the MIX parameter.

  • Page 21: Parameter Editing

    5.11 PARAMETER EDITING The four DATA ENTRY knobs are used to change the parameter values that you see on the screen. (Some parameters also have dedicated knobs on the panel.) The physical location of the knobs on the front panel corresponds to the layout of the parameters on the screen.
