023: Tube PreAmp Model
(Tube PreAmp Modeling)
This effect simulates a two-stage vacuum tube preamp. You
can make individual settings for two vacuum tubes
connected in series. This lets you create the warm sound
typical of vacuum tubes.
b, f: Saturation [%]
With higher settings of this value, the waveform will change
at high gain levels, tending to cause distortion. Lower
settings of this value will produce linear response.
c: Tube1 Bias
This expresses the effect that changes in vacuum tube bias
have on the distortion of the waveform. Higher settings of
this value will produce distortion even at low gain levels.
Since this will also change the overtone structure, you can
use it to control the tonal character.
d: Tube1 Phase
With the Wet Invert setting, the phase of the signal will be
inverted between stage 1 and stage 2. Since “Bias” is applied
to the inverted signal in stage 2, this will change the tonal
character.
