Effects - Transducer

f Transducer
Contains effects that modify the sound by adding various filters and overdrive compo-
nents .
There are three parameters:
Drive –
Controls the amount of overdrive applied to the signal . More drive will distort the signal
and create megaphone style effects .
Filter –
Employs a filter that changes the sound of the Transducer to be "thinner" or more "muddy"
depending on the preset. Thinner filter settings sound more like a radio or walkie-talkie.

left side of the LCD screen .
There are 8 styles to choose from:
1 . MEGAPHONE

There are 2 settings:
1. OUTPUT - Applies the effect to the lead voice and any voices derived from it, like Harmony or
Doubling.
2 . FX - Applies the effect only to voices within an effect . For example, if you are using a Delay, the
initial "tap" of the Delay will be uneffected, but subsequent "taps" will have the Transducer ef-
fect .
Gate Threshold -
has an independent gate that can be set to help alleviate feedback. Raising the threshold will cause the
effect to "kick in" at a higher input volume, which can help avoid feedback while you're not singing.

Controls the overall level of the Transducer effect .
