Fuzz Parameters
These parameters control the integrated distortion and compression circuits. The
compressor always precedes the Fuzz effect.
• Comp (Compression) Ratio knob: Sets the compression ratio.
• Fuzz Gain knob: Sets the level of the Fuzz, or distortion, effect.
• Fuzz Tone knob: Adjusts the tonal color of the fuzz effect. Low settings tend to be
warmer, and high settings are brighter and harsher.
Using the Fuzz-Wah
The following section provides practical tips for the Fuzz-Wah parameters.
Setting the Wah Wah Level with Auto Gain
The Wah Wah effect can cause the output level to vary widely. Turning Auto Gain on
compensates for this tendency and keeps the output signal within a more stable range.
To hear the difference Auto Gain can make
1 Switch Auto Gain to on.
2 Raise the effect level to a value just below the mixer’s clipping limit.
3 Make a sweep with a high relative Q setting.
4 Switch Auto Gain to off, and repeat the sweep.
Important: Make sure to set a conservative master output level for your host application
before trying this. Failure to do so may result in damage to your hearing or speakers.
Setting the Pedal Range
Common MIDI foot pedals have a much larger mechanical range than most classic
Wah Wah pedals.
The sweep range of the Wah Wah filter is set with the Pedal Range parameters. The highest
and lowest possible values reached by a MIDI foot pedal are graphically represented by
a gray bracket around the Pedal Position slider (the slider represents the current position
of the Wah Wah pedal).
