Program Descriptions
6 Carbon Mic
The sound from 1938. This preset sends a soft amount
of treble gain into the distressor. The treble component
starts at 181Hz. Crossover(XOM) mix is set to all
treble. EXM is also set to max at 63. DHP (Distression
High Pass) rolls off the bottom end. If you reduce XOM,
more of the low frequency component will be audible.
Use this to obtain an old, scratchy sort of sound.
7 Saxophone
This preset is designed as an alternative to reaching for
the EQ knobs.There is a reasonable amount of low-
frequency compressed energy. Take the result and
send into a Plate program in the Cascade mode ma-
chine B. (Mix the Plate program to something other
than 100%)
8 Horn Blast
This agressive preset is designed to enhance your
horn section. If you want to tone it down, reduce
HFC(High Frequency Cut for distression component)
and/or reduce TSL (treble slope).
9 Softener
Very soft edge on anything. Try it on a vox track. Subtle
effect.
0 Some Fuzz
If you need More Fuzz increase DGN(Distression
Gain), lower XOV and increase XOM.
