Parameter Range Description
Dist LPF Fc 10Hz to 20.0kHz Filters out high frequencies prior to the distortion.
Dist Offset -99% to +99% Adjusts the balance of even-to-odd-generated harmonics.
Dist Gain Off, -49.5dB to +48dB Controls the gain going into the distortion effect. This will boost the
signal level up to 48 dB. For more distortion, use a high input level gain
and turn the Distortion Volume down to keep the volume under control.
For less distortion, use a low gain input level and a higher output
volume.
Dist Curve Soft, Medium 1, Medium
2, Hard, Buzz
Selects the type of clipping produced by the distortion. The curves range
from tube-like distortion (Soft) to nasty distortion (Buzz).
Dist Volume Off, -49.5dB to 0.0dB Controls the volume of the distortion effect. Generally, if the Distortion
Gain is set high, set this parameter lower.
Post VCF Fc 10Hz to 7.10kHz Determines the distortion filter cut off frequency. Higher values have a
brighter sound. This parameter can be modulated, using a CV Pedal for
a wah wah pedal effect.
Post VCF Q 1.0 to 40.0 Determines the level and width of the resonant peak at the filter cutoff
point. While the Fc (filter cutoff) parameter determines where (at what
frequency) this peak will occur, the Q setting controls the presence of
the peak. This setting is important for the auto-wah effect.
Dist Dry Lev Off, -49.5dB to 0.0dB Controls the amount of dry signal to be mixed with the distorted signal.
EQ Input Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Adjusts the input level trim to the EQs to eliminate the possibility of
clipping boosted signals.
Mid 1 Fc 10Hz to 20.0kHz Sets the center of the mid frequency parametric.
Mid 1 Q 1.0 to 40.0 This parameter is a bandwidth control that determines the width of the
resonant peak at the center frequency band. This parameter is equal to
the cutoff frequency divided by the bandwidth. By raising the value, you
can produce a narrower bandwidth.
Mid 1 Gain Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to this mid frequency shelf.
VCF Input Off, -49.5dB to 0.0dB Acts as a trim control at the input of the VCF.
VCF Fc 10Hz to 7.10kHz Determines the VCF cut off frequency. Higher values have a brighter
sound. This parameter can be modulated, using a CV Pedal for a wah
wah pedal effect.
VCF Q 1.0 to 40.0 Determines the level and width of the resonant peak at the filter cutoff
point. While the Fc (filter cutoff) parameter determines where (at what
frequency) this peak will occur, the Q setting controls the presence of
the peak. This setting is important for the auto-wah effect.
ADSR Attack 50us to 10.0s Sets the attack time for the ADSR Envelope shape.
ADSR Decay 50us to 10.0s Sets the decay time for the ADSR Envelope shape.
ADSR Sustain Off, -49.5dB to 0.0dB Sets the sustain level for the ADSR Envelope shape.
ADSR Release 50us to 10.0s Sets the release time for the ADSR Envelope shape.
ADSR Env Amt -99% to +99% Determines the degree to which the envelope modifies the cutoff
frequency of the VCF.
ADSR TrigMode Single or Multi Determines whether the envelope which controls the VCF will retrigger
with each key-event (Multi) or not (Single).
Dly1 Time 1/1 Sys to 1/32 Sys, 0ms to
630ms
Sets the amount of delay time for the first independent delay.
Dly1 Level Off, -49.5dB to +12.0dB Adjusts the volume of the delayed signal against the original dry signal.
