- Utilities and Tools
• Mix slider and field: Sets the ratio between the effect (wet) signal and original (dry)
signals, following the Clip Filter.
• 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 ±30 dB with
the Gain parameter.
• (High Shelving) Gain knob and field: Sets the amount of gain applied to the output signal.
• Input Gain field and slider (Extended Parameters area): Sets the amount of gain applied
to the input signal.
• Output Gain field and slider (Extended Parameters area): 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.
