 "Normal, low cut" is designed for bass-heavy signals such as bass guitar. The
bottom end of the signal stays clear and well-defined, the effect is only
audible for the mid and treble frequencies.
 "Dual" makes the source sound more lively than a single ‘part’. The sound is
spread over the stereo panorama, which makes this mode seem ‘wider’.
 "Quad, low cut" is ideal for creating sounds such as deep synth pads with
tight bass frequencies.
Tip: Like on the stomp boxes our vintage effects are modeled on, there is a
‘footswitch’ below the pedal’s logo that can be clicked to turn the effect on or
off for A/B comparisons. All the effects of the Vintage Effects Suite have been
designed like this.
Distortion
The distortion pedal is a “high gain” distorter for crunch and lead guitar
sounds. If you like typically “British” amp sounds and want to quickly record a
guitar track with little effort, this pedal is for you.
An entire valve pre-amp circuit has been modeled, including the typical EQ
curve. The amplification is “valve-typical”, i.e. it doesn’t start quickly but is
harmonic and soft. Even at full power the pedal still reacts softly to a guitar
and its settings (e.g. pick-up choice and tone controller). For instance, you
can influence the distortion even more by using the volume knob on the guitar.
There are only three parameters on this effect; however, these interact with
each other and can thus generate quite a variable sound:
 Low: the “bass” controller. This allows you to set the share of basses, even
after the distortion. The type of prefiltering is important for guitar amps in
particular, and is characteristic for the basic sound. You should set the bass
