Select which preamp circuit you use. Four choices are available to insert into a
preset. Brite Tube and Smooth Tube use the 12AX7A as either a clean preamp
(Brite) or, for a "dirty" preamp (Smooth). Solid state circuitry is used when you
select the Smooth Solid or Second EQ Off. When using solid state, you have an
extremely clean preamp.
The 12AX7A tube used in the NIGHTBASS is a twin triode tube. What this means is
there are essentially two tubes enclosed in one case.
You can use these two tubes together or separately to produce different types of
overdrive and distortion when ganged together with the Distortion circuitry.
NOTES:
1) Use the Input Gain control to adjust the amount of signal presented to the
preamp and control the overdrive of the preamp.
2) The Tube Contour control affects only the Brite and Smooth Tube.
3) The Second EQ Off value disables the front panel equalizer.
4) When used with the Distortion Algorithm, the two effects are stacked together
with the preamp circuitry second in line.
EFX CROSSOVER
[EFX CROSSVR], [XOR]
Parameters:
XOR: [BYPASS] HI/LO SPLIT, HIGH to DGFX, LOW to ANFX, BYPASS
TUNING = [350Hz] 110Hz, 160Hz, 230Hz, 350Hz, 560Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz
Adding the EFX Crossover to a preset allows you to control how the audio signal
is split into separate low and high frequency paths. Use this to keep your sound
distinct rather than loosing or burying it. When using Compression, Distortion,
EQ, Reverb, and Swept effects, it's a good idea to include the EFX Crossover
algorithm. Set the Tuning parameter to select the crossover point of the signal.
[HI/LO SPLIT] sends only the low frequency material to the analog Mix Output and
the high frequency to the digital effects. If you are using distortion, this will
give your lower end a ballsy sound and keep your digital effects from being
muddled.
[HIGH to DGFX] sends just the high frequency material to the digital effects.
This keeps unwanted low frequency material from muddying up your digital effects.
[LOW to ANFX] sends only the low frequency material to the analog Mix Output.
Sending the higher frequency signal material to the digital effects such as
reverb or delay will keep the decays crisp and clean sounding.
[BYPASS] is just what it means, the internal crossover is taken out of the chain.
The Bypass variable is available for use wih MIDI control, you may want to start
at "bypass" and then select a crossover frequency.
