should be used sparingly at first to get a feel for how it works, and if accidentally left on could
potentially create unwanted artifacts.
The fixed ceiling correlates to the following positions on the OUTPUT control with
converters calibrated to -18dBFS.
‘6’ 7dB headroom
‘7’ 4dB headroom
‘8’ 0.1dB headroom
SC POST/SC PRE switch - 3 position, selects the source of the compressor’s sidechain, either
pre-filter, or post-eq. The middle position engages the external sidechain input (¼” jack on the
rear panel). If nothing is plugged in to the external input, this effectively bypasses the
compression.
HARMONICS/SATURATION
DRIVE control - In conjunction with the harmonic amplifier switches, controls the amount of
harmonics and saturation, 5 is unity. The harmonics stages can be used in any combination,
and DRIVE is always active, even if no stages are engaged. The stages are arranged from
highest headroom to lowest headroom, so they can each impart character when used
together.
MAS 3/MAS 2 switch - 3 positions, engages MAS circuitry with either stronger 2nd harmonic
or stronger 3rd harmonic.
SAT switch - Engages a rich saturation stage.
HEX switch - Engages a stage that goes deep into distortion.
FEED MIXER
EQ FEED/DRY FEED switch - Sets the source of the DRY/EQ FEED to either the pre-filter signal
(dry) or the post-EQ signal.
DRY/EQ FEED control - Sets the level of the dry or eq signal, depending on the status of the
EQ FEED/DRY FEED switch.
DRY/EQ FEED switch - Mute control for the DRY/EQ FEED.
COMP FEED control - Sets the level of the compressor feed, which is always fed from the
output of the compressor, regardless of whether the compressor circuit is engaged into the
main path (with the COMP switch).
COMP FEED switch - Mute control for the COMP FEED.
SAT FEED control - Sets the level of the saturated feed, which is the full signal path through
the DRIVE and harmonics/saturation stages.
SAT FEED switch - Mute control for the SAT FEED.
Front Panel Trimmer (Access above HEX) - Adjusts the RIGHT channel output level. Reset
with -30 dBFS 1kHz tone to LINE 1 IN, INPUT 10, OUTPUT 10, DRY FEED (only) 10.
