through with no processed signal (0% wet balance) added to the mix. Twist the knob
clockwise to blend in the processed signal (parallel/passive, wet balance 1-99%,
depending on knob position). When the knob arrives at the Effect position, only the
wet signal (that is, the processed signal generated by the connected effect device) is
patchedtothepoweramp(serial,100%wet).
