Sum LPF knob and field: Sets the cutoff frequency (in Hertz) of the lowpass filter. This
processes the mixed signal.
(High Shelving) Frequency knob and field: Sets the frequency (in Hertz) of the high
shelving filter. If you set the High Shelving Frequency to around 12 kHz, you can use it
like the treble control on a mixer channel strip or a stereo hi-fi amplifier. Unlike these
types of treble controls, however, you can boost or cut the signal by up to plus or minus
30 dB with the Gain parameter.
(High Shelving) Gain knob and field: Sets the amount of gain applied to the output signal.
Distortion Effect
The Distortion effect simulates the lo-fi, dirty distortion generated by a bipolar transistor.
You can use it to simulate playing a musical instrument through a highly overdriven
amplifier, or to create unique distorted sounds.
Drive slider and field: Sets the amount of saturation applied to the signal.
Display: Shows the impact of parameters on the signal.
Tone knob and field: Sets the frequency for the high cut filter. Filtering the harmonically
rich distorted signal produces a softer tone.
Output slider and field: Sets the output level. This allows you to compensate for increases
in loudness caused by adding distortion.
