You will find that the harmonic distortion is generally more obvious on overall
mixes and complex programs. On individual instruments, sometimes 10% dis-
tortion sounds "fat" and "analog" and isn't heard as distortion at all.

The Input knob defines the signal level going into the

Levels above 0 VU provide dramatically higher distortion
characteristics, especially when clipped (as indicated by
