Dual Tube Stage / Stereo Tube Stage
Tube Stage / Overdrive is a versatile eect capable of emulating a variety of modern and classic tube amps. Available in
stereo and dual-mono versions, use Tube Stage / Overdrive to dial in warm and fuzzy sounds from subtle to fully-saturated.
DRIVE adjusts the amount of harmonics being driven by the eect. EVEN and ODD adjusts the amount of even and odd
harmonics. GAIN adjusts the output gain of the eect. LO CUT sets the input frequency below which the source signal will
not pass through the eect. HI CUT sets the input frequency above which the signal will not pass through the eect. BASS
GAIN/FREQ adjusts a low-shelving lter at the output of the eect. TREBLE GAIN/FREQ adjusts a high-shelving lter at
the eect’s output.
Dual Pitch Shifter / Stereo Pitch
Pitch sifting is often used in two dierent ways; one is to set the MIX control lower and only use the CENT control to make
a small oset in pitch between the wet and dry tones. This results in a ‘voice doubling’ eect that thickens the overall
sound in a more subtle way. The extreme use of this eect is to turn the MIX control fully-clockwise so that the full sound
is aected. This way, the signal can be shifted into other keys up to an octave above or below the original key. When used
on a voice, it results in a ‘chipmunk’ sound or a low, ‘Darth Vader’ eect.
When the SEMI and CENT rotary controls are set to 12:00, the pitch is not altered. Making adjustments by semitone will
have a very pronounced eect, whereas changes to the CENT control will be very minor. The DELAY control creates a
time dierence between the wet and dry sounds. The LO CUT and HI CUT rotary controls allows the aected signal to
be band-limited. The Dual-Pitch eect allows the left and right channels to be adjusted independently, and allows gain
compensation and panning of the two channels.
