Stompbox Description
Rawk! Distortion A metal/hard rock distortion eect. Crunch sets the
amount of saturation applied to the input signal.
Output gain is set with Level. Tonal color is set with
the Tone knob, making the sound brighter at higher
values.
Tube Burner A vacuum tube-based distortion that provides a wide
palette of sounds, ranging from warm grain to crispy
overdrive.
Vintage Drive Overdrive eect that emulates the distortion
produced by a eld-eect transistor (FET), commonly
used in solid-state ampliers. When saturated, FETs
generate a warmer sounding distortion than bipolar
transistors, such as those emulated by Grinder. Drive
sets the saturation amount for the input signal. Tone
sets the frequency for the high cut lter, resulting in
a softer or harsher tone. The Fat switch, when at the
top position, enhances lower frequency content in the
signal. Level sets the overall output level of the eect.
