Dual Tube Stage / Stereo Tube Stage
Tube Stage / Overdrive is a versatile eect 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 eect. EVEN and ODD adjusts the amount of even and odd
harmonics. GAIN adjusts the output gain of the eect. LO CUT sets the input frequency below which the source signal will
not pass through the eect. HI CUT sets the input frequency above which the signal will not pass through the eect. BASS
GAIN/FREQ adjusts a low-shelving lter at the output of the eect. TREBLE GAIN/FREQ adjusts a high-shelving lter at
the eect’s output.
Dual Pitch Shifter / Stereo Pitch
Pitch sifting is often used in two dierent ways; one is to set the MIX control lower and only use the CENT control to make
a small oset in pitch between the wet and dry tones. This results in a ‘voice doubling’ eect that thickens the overall
sound in a more subtle way. The extreme use of this eect is to turn the MIX control fully-clockwise so that the full sound
is aected. 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’ eect.
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 eect, whereas changes to the CENT control will be very minor. The DELAY control creates a
time dierence between the wet and dry sounds. The LO CUT and HI CUT rotary controls allows the aected signal to
be band-limited. The Dual-Pitch eect allows the left and right channels to be adjusted independently, and allows gain
compensation and panning of the two channels.
