This distorts the sound. Depending on the character of the sound, you can get various types of distortion, which are classified
into two main types, overdrive and distortion.
OVERDRIVE
This is a warm, natural-sounding distortion that you get when you turn up the volume on a tube amp.
DISTORTION
With this, you get not just amp distortion, but the deep, intense distortion of Heavy Metal and Grunge.
LEVEL (0 - 100)
This adjusts the volume of the effect when it is
on. Use this control to set the volume balance
desired when overdrive/distartion is to be
switched on and off.
TONE (-50 ~ +50)
Adjusts the tone. Values higher
than "0" cause the sound's
upper range to become more
prominent, giving it a harder
edge. As the value is
decreased below "0," the high
range frequencies are
suppressed, resulting in a
*sound with a softer tone.
