LFO Shape Triangle, Sine, Sawtooth,
Square, Asym, Step
Determines the shape that the LFO will use for pitch modulation.
LFO Phase -180deg to +180deg Controls the relative phase between left and right LFOs.
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.
Dly1 Feedback -99% to +99% Determines the amount of signal that will be fed from the output back
into the input, increasing the number of repeats in the delay.
Dly1 Damping 100Hz to 21.2kHz Controls the cutoff of a low pass filter on the feedback signal, which
adjusts the amount of damping to the feedback signals. The higher the
number, the more the signals are damped.
Dly2 Time 1/1 Sys to 1/32 Sys, 0ms to
630ms
Sets the amount of delay time for the second independent delay.
Dly2 Level Off, -49.5dB to +12.0dB Adjusts the volume of the delayed signal against the original dry signal.
Dly2 Feedback -99% to +99% Determines the amount of signal that will be fed from the output back
into the input, increasing the number of repeats in the delay.
Dly2 Damping 100Hz to 21.2kHz Controls the cutoff of a low pass filter on the feedback signal, which
adjusts the amount of damping to the feedback signals. The higher the
number, the more the signals are damped.

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.
