DISTORTED REALITY
ROUTING
The power of the GHOST lies in its complex stereo audio effect chain with 96kHz,
32-bit internal audio processing, consisting of 2 VCAs (pre and post), 3 distortion
stages, a multimode filter with bitcrusher on the end, delay, reverb, compressor, and
sidechain ducking envelope. The order of the three main processing blocks -
DELAY/REVERB , FILTER , and DISTORTION - can be changed by pressing the
ROUTING button, letting you achieve many different flavors of sound without
having to repatch. The settings of the GAIN , DRIVE and COMPRESSOR in the audio
chain are adjusted manually for optimal control over the dynamics.
There are three possible orders for the DELAY/REVERB (FX) , DISTORTION (DIST)
and FILTER (VCF) blocks written as a hint on the panel:
1. FX 🠚 DIST 🠚 VCF
2. DIST 🠚 VCF 🠚 FX
3. VCF 🠚 FX 🠚 DIST
The selected order is shown by the brightness of the ROUTING button (16), and
written as a hint on the faceplate:
🠚 when ROUTING button LED is off – first chain is selected
🠚 when ROUTING button is semi lit – second chain is selected
🠚 when ROUTING button is full on – third chain is selected
🠚 HINT : experiment with the audio chain order to fit your needs and find new and
unexpected sounds with a push of a button.
We advise exploring the routing chains and picking your favorite based on each
situation. From our sound design experience with the module, the first routing chain
is well suited to rumble/ghost sounds, the second is good for cleaner effects based
on overdriving the filter, and the third will generally have the heaviest distorted
tones.
