NEW FEATURES IN DIGITAL PERFORMER 7.24

D Plus

D Plus emulates the MXR Distortion+™ pedal; its crunchy

sound has been widely used by Randy Rhoads, Jerry Garcia,

Bob Mould, and many others.

Output: level of the output signal.

Distortion: amount of distortion.

Source Z: simulates varying the source impedance of the

device connected to the input, which affects the high-

frequency response of the pedal.

A setting of zero is similar to connecting a well-buffered

pedal or a guitar with active pick-ups to D Plus’s input. When

Source Z is in the range between about 3 and 5, it simulates a

guitar with passive pick-ups at full volume. A setting in the

range between about 6 and 10 simulates passive pick-ups at a

lower value.

Load Z: simulates varying the load impedance of the device

connected to the output, which affects the character of the

distortion.

A setting of zero simulates the low-impedance input of a

typical combo ampliﬁer, whereas a setting of 10 is similar to

connecting the pedal output to an ampliﬁer’s high

impedance input, typically 1 MΩ (megaohm).

Status light: displays the bypass state; when lit, the effect is

active.

Enable switch: bypasses or enables the effect. This works the

same as the Effects window’s Bypass button.

Delta Fuzz

Delta Fuzz emulates the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff π™

pedal, used by many ’80s and ’90s bands including the

Smashing Pumpkins, Dinosaur Jr., and Mudhoney.

Vol u m e : output gain.

To n e : variable high-frequency boost, with shallow midrange

notch.

Sustain: amount of distortion.
