UNCL.HD MULTIBAND DISTORTION
This eect goes to 11, well actually to 12. It’s great for adding subtle warmth to full on distortion to any input. Guitar amp simulation can also be added to further
increase the sonic palate available to the engineer. There are three bands, adjustable by a 24 dB per octave crossover lter. Each band has an automatic compressor
function controlled by the 'Squash' parameter, to add more punch to the sound before it goes through the distortion.
The 'Drive' parameter controls the amount of distortion introduced to the sound. This parameter, together with the right distortion type, can instead bring some soft
saturation to the sound.
In the bottom section there is a Mix control and a Trim parameter for each band, to further balance and manipulate the eect. Moreover, the mute/solo buttons
remove or isolate a band for more precise sound design.
There are three distortion types. going from soft saturation to more aggressive distortion, and, apart from monitoring the level of the sound on each band, can also be
used to monitor the distortion applied to it with the three bands provided.
The eect also features a Post Filter section, in case additional control is required over the extra harmonics created by the distortion, and a Cabinet Unit applied to the
output, which can add the characteristic timbre of 11 dierent cabinet types.
Finally, the level of the sound can be controlled by the input and output gain parameters.
