- Page 10 Hidden Options - Continued AUTO GAIN Gradually introduces automatic gain compensation for the Loss modes. The Loss modes create their AUTO effect by manipulating the frequency GAIN spectrum, so this helps keep the perceived volume the same. LOSS GAIN Controls the overall gain of the wet signal, with cut or boost up to 36 dB.

- Page 15 Verb VERB PRE Lossy’s reverb is as digital as could be, with a warm character and unique decay that fizzles and sputters. Rather than creating realistic- VERB sounding spaces, it’s instead reminiscent of the reverbs used by electronic musicians in the early 1990s.

You can use this to “refill” the sound of the freeze - a new chord, for example - or leave it It can work like any other freeze: Hold the left running continuously like a live effect.
- Page 17 Gate Hold down Lossy’s BYPASS switch to engage the gate. CUTOFF It can create sputtering effects like a distant radio station at lower settings. CUTOFF Medium settings work well as a performance gesture to introduce momentary failure. Now all audio quieter than the cutoff will be silenced.
