Pre-Distortion EQ
|
Pre-Distortion EQ Band Enable
|
Enables the EQ band when selected.
Default value: false
|
Pre-Distortion EQ Band Curve
|
Determines the type of filtering that can be applied to the signal in a given EQ band. The following filters are available:
Low Pass to provide a fixed sloped attenuation of high frequencies from a specified frequency. Below this point the signal is almost unaffected but higher frequencies are progressively more attenuated past the cutoff frequency point.
High Pass to provide a fixed slope attenuation of low frequencies from a specified frequency. Above this point the signal is almost unaffected while lower frequencies are progressively more attenuated below the cutoff frequency point.
Band Pass to reject all frequencies around the specified center frequency. The range of frequencies around the center is controlled by the Q.
Notch to provide a fixed attenuation of a specified frequency range with a varying width. The range of frequencies around the center is controlled by the Q.
Low Shelf to provide gain/attenuation for a specified range of low frequencies. This curve type is also known as Bass Tone Control.
High Shelf to provide gain /attenuation for a specified range of high frequencies. This curve type is also known as Treble Tone Control.
Peaking to provide amplification/attenuation of a specified frequency range with a varying width. The range of frequencies around the peak is controlled by the Q.
Default value: Low Shelf
|
Pre-Distortion EQ Band Gain
|
The amount of the amplification of the audio signal for the selected frequency band. Increasing this value “boosts” the audio signal. Decreasing this value “cuts” or attenuates the audio signal.
|
Note |
The Gain controls are not available when the Low Pass, High Pass, Notch, and Band Pass curves have been selected because these filter types have their passband normalized at 0 dB. |
Default value: 0 Range: -48 to 48 Units: dB
|
Pre-Distortion EQ Band Frequency
|
The portion of the frequency spectrum that will be affected by the gain.
Default value: 1000 Range: 20 to 20000 Units: Hz
|
Pre-Distortion EQ Band Quality Factor
|
The area around the center frequency that will be affected by the change in gain. A low Q value means that the bandwidth range will be wide, and conversely a high Q value means that the bandwidth range will be narrow.
This control is not available when the Low Pass, High Pass, Low Shelf, and High Shelf curves have been selected.
Default value: 1 Range: 0.1 to 20
|
Distortion |
Type
|
The type of distortion algorithm that will be applied. The following options are available:
None: No distortion will be applied.
Overdrive: Smooth, blues type distortion.
Heavy: Hard distortion introducing lots of high frequency harmonics.
Clip: Hard clipping with no transition. Often leads to unpleasant static noise (clipping distortion).
Fuzz: Asymmetrical hard and soft clipping with different thresholds for positive and negative values. This type of distortion introduces many harmonics and may quickly sound inharmonic with complex tonal input.
Default value: None
|
Drive
|
This parameter scales the input signal prior to the evaluation of the transfer function. It can be thought as the amount of distortion that will be applied.
Default value: 50 Range: 0 to 100 Units: %
|
Tone
|
Changes the transfer function as specified in the text above.
|
Note |
This parameter only has an effect when the distortion type is set to Fuzz. |
Default value: 50 Range: 0 to 100 Units: %
|
Distortion Rectification
|
Amount of half-wave or full-wave rectification that will affect the negative portions of the input signal. Refer to
Rectification
for more details.
Default value: 0 Range: 0 to 100 Units: %
|
Output
|
Output Gain
|
The amount of gain applied to the output signal.
Default value: 0 Range: -24 to 24 Units: dB
|
Wet/Dry Mix
|
Controls the balance between the wet path (the output of the Effect) and the dry path (the input of the Effect). A value of 0 yields the original signal unaffected by the Effect while the a value of 100 outputs only the output of the Effect.
Default value: 100 Range: 0 to 100 Units: %
|
Post-Distortion EQ
|
Post-Distortion EQ Band Enable
|
Enables the EQ band when selected.
Default value: false
|
