User Guide

If the button is inactive the output is clipped at 0 dBFS. In this situation the effect can be used as a 'dirty'
master limiter/maximizer (use the Drive knob to boost the signal level as much as possible without
unacceptable distortion).
Tube
The tube simulator consists of a preamp and a power amp simulator. The preamp mainly generates second
order harmonics, the power amp generates lower order odd harmonics. The Warmth knob controls the
smoothness of the power amp's clipping behavior (0 = hard clipping, 10 = soft clipping). In fact it controls
the amount of feedback that is applied to the power amp to make it more linear).
Drive controls the signal levels that's being sent to the virtual tube amp.
Tape
Drive controls the virtual recording level. The level meter shows the peak value of the recording level. At 0
dB (all green segments on, all green ones off) total harmonic distortion is approx. 1%.
7.24 Stereo Effect
The Stereo Effect has separate groups of effect slots for the left and right channels. After effects processing
the two signals are mixed to stereo using their Volume and Pan controls.
Stereo Effect window
Use the Stereo Effect if you want to apply different effects to the left and right channels. You can, for
instance, apply tremolo, vibrato or echo to one channel only.
The Stereo Effect can also be used to narrow stereo-width or swap the channels (using the Pan knobs), or
to mute one of the channels. If the input signal is mono, both channels will receive this mono signal. As a
result, the effect can be used as a 'parallel effect loop' for mono signals.
7.25 Tremolo
Tremolo modulates the level of the signal with a sine wave.
