TC-Helicon Voicelive 2 User Manual

LOW CUT and HIGH CUT
Sets the cut-off frequency for these very steep low and
high shelving filters. TIP: these and the PRESENCE filters
can be used without Distortion effects to apply more
radical EQ to your presets.
GATE THRESHOLD
A gate, separate from the main Gate under the Tone
button is used to help prevent feedback when using the
Transducer with heavy distortion or presence filtering
that can introduce feedback in a live environment. This
parameter sets how loud you must sing in order to open
the gate.
DISTORTION TYPE and DISTORTION
AMOUNT
These are pre-configured distortion styles that range
from Overdrive through Saturation and Distortion and
finally, Fuzz. Each has a unique character. Though these
styles have no detailed controls like the Delay or Reverb
tabs for example, you can add or reduce the distortion
component and apply filtering with LOW CUT, HIGH
CUT, and PRESENCE to customize them.
The AMOUNT parameter adjusts the amount of
distortion for the current distortion style. This is not the
same as the IN and OUT GAIN controls which work
on level adjustjment. The Distortion Amount control
adjusts the algorithmic distortion curve that you can
further trim with the TRANSDUCER IN GAIN and
TRANSDUCER OUT GAIN controls.
Note that your IN GAIN in the Setup menu must
be sufficient in order to hear the correct amount of
distortion present in distorted styles.
TRANSDUCER IN GAIN and TRANSDUCER
OUT GAIN
These act similarly to a guitar distortion pedal or an
amplifier with input gain and master level controls. IN
GAIN boosts or attenuates the amount of distortion for
the distortion type selected.
When you adjust the IN GAIN parameter, just like a
guitar amplifier, the overall level of the effect goes up
and down. Use th OUT GAIN control to adjust the
output level of the Transducer block to properly balance
