Stompbox Description
Rawk! Distortion A metal/hard rock distortion eect. Crunch sets the
amount of saturation applied to the input signal.
Output gain is set with Level. Tonal color is set with
the Tone knob, making the sound brighter at higher
values.
Tube Burner A vacuum tube-based distortion that provides a wide
palette of sounds, ranging from warm grain to crispy
overdrive.
Vintage Drive Overdrive eect that emulates the distortion
produced by a eld-eect transistor (FET), commonly
used in solid-state ampliers. When saturated, FETs
generate a warmer sounding distortion than bipolar
transistors, such as those emulated by Grinder. Drive
sets the saturation amount for the input signal. Tone
sets the frequency for the high cut lter, resulting in
a softer or harsher tone. The Fat switch, when at the
top position, enhances lower frequency content in the
signal. Level sets the overall output level of the eect.
Pedalboard modulation pedals
This table describes the modulation eects pedals.
Stompbox Description
Dr Octave A classic octaver eect with two independent octave
controls plus an integrated overdrive.
Flange Factory A deluxe anging eect that allows precise control of
every aspect of your sound.
Heavenly Chorus A rich, sweet-sounding chorus eect that thickens
the sound. Rate sets the modulation speed and can
either run freely or be synchronized with the host
application tempo when you enable the Sync button.
When synchronized, you can specify bar, beat, and
note values, including triplets and dotted notes.
Depth sets the strength of the eect. Feedback sends
the output of the eect back in to the input, further
thickening the sound or leading to intermodulations.
Delay sets the ratio between the original and eect
signals. The upper Bright switch position applies
a xed frequency internal EQ to the signal. At the
bottom position, the EQ is bypassed.
Phase Tripper A simple phasing eect. Rate sets the modulation
speed and can either run freely or be synchronized
with the host application tempo when you enable the
Sync button. When synchronized, you can specify bar,
beat, and note values, including triplets and dotted
notes. Depth sets the strength of the eect. Feedback
determines the amount of eect signal that is routed
back into the input. This can change the tonal color,
make the sweeping eect more pronounced, or do
both.
