It delivers the natural dynamic response and organic compression of classic tube amps and tape machines, fitting four decades of legendary tones into a package that will fit in your gig bag.
Controls
Blend: Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal.
The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the
overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine
control of the blend ratio.
Level: Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.
Drive: Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal.
Grunt Switch: Sets the amount of low frequency content to
saturate by selecting between three different bass boost
levels before the clipping stage.
Attack Switch: Sets the amount of treble content to saturate:
The "Boost" setting emphasizes the treble content extra
clarity and presence. The "Flat" position leaves this register
untouched while the "Cut" position will reduce the amount of
high frequencies being saturated.
Low: +-12dB @ 100Hz | Low Mids: +-12dB @ 500Hz
Hi Mids: +-12dB @ 1.5 kHz | Treble: +-12dB @ 5kHz
Low Mids Switch: this switch change the center frequency of
the Low Mids from 1kHz to 500Hz.
Hi Mids Switch: this switch change the center frequency of
the Hi Mids from 3kHz to 1.5kHz.
Parallel Output: A passthrough for your input signal, useful
for parallel processing.
Direct Output: A balanced version of the ¼” output, useful for
running into PA’s or studio mixing console
