TRANSDUCER Tab Overview
The Transducer effects block uses distortion
and steep lters to emulate the sound of radios,
phones and devices that generally degrade the
audio signal.
f TRANSDUCER STYLE
Use the soft knob assigned to this parameter to
choose a Transducer style you like. The Routing
and Gate Threshold parameters are not part of
the style.
f ROUTING:
Selects where the Transducer effect is inserted
into the signal path for maximum exibility. The
options are:
• OFF - No routing.
• LEAD - Transducer is inserted on the Lead
voice only. Harmonies and Doubling are unaf-
fected.
• HARMONY - Transducer is inserted on the
Harmony path only.
• VOICES - Transducer is inserted on both the
Lead, Harmony and Doubling voices.
• LEAD FX - Transducer is inserted on the Lead
send to the µMod, Delay and Reverb effect
sends. Lead voice will be clean and the effects
will be affected by the Transducer style.
• HARM FX - transducer is inserted on the
HARMONY send to the effects. Lead and
Harmony voices will be clean but the effects
driven by only the Harmonies will be affected
by the Transducer style.
f LOW CUT and HIGH CUT
Sets the cut-off frequency for these very steep
low and high shelving lters. TIP: these and the
PRESENCE lters can be used without Distortion
effects to apply more radical EQ to your presets.
f 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 ltering that can introduce feedback
in a live environment. This parameter sets how
loud you must sing in order to open the gate.
f DISTORTION TYPE and
DISTORTION AMOUNT
These are pre-congured distortion styles that
range from Overdrive through Saturation and
Distortion and nally, Fuzz. Each has a unique
character. Though these styles have no detailed
controls like the Delay or Reverb tabs for exam-
ple, you can add or reduce the distortion com-
ponent and apply ltering 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 adjustment. The Distortion
Amount control adjusts the algorithmic distortion
curve that you can further trim with the TRANS-
DUCER IN GAIN and TRANSDUCER OUT
GAIN controls.
Note that your IN GAIN in the Setup menu must
be sufcient in order to hear the correct amount
of distortion present in distorted styles.
