Diamond Drive
Diamond Drive emulates the Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive™
pedal, which is itself an Ibanez TS9™ clone with a dirty/clean
crossfader.
Gain: amount of distortion.
To n e : variable high-frequency roll-off, with peak at high
settings.
Clean: crossfades between distorted signal and clean signal.
Vol u m e : output gain.
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.
Intelligent Noise Gate
Intelligent Noise Gate is a noise gate designed specifically for
recording instruments that are prone to AC mains
interference.
☛ In the stereo-to-stereo variant, the stereo channels are
processed independently.
Threshold: trigger level that opens the gate.
Attack: rise time constant of the gate, in microseconds (µs).
Hold: amount of time the gate will stay open once triggered,
in milliseconds (ms). Decrease if noise overhanging the note
is a problem.
Release: fall time constant of the gate, in milliseconds (ms).
Mains Frequency: tune this to your national power grid.
Noise Type: sets the plug-in to gate the dominant noise
source in the input signal. AC interference noise is generally
caused by one of two sources: “hum” is generated inside an
amplifier that uses AC-heated pre-amp tubes, and “buzz” is
caused by unstable voltages produced by poorly-regulated
DC power supplies such as “wall wart” transformers for old
stomp boxes. In North America, the fundamental frequency
of the hum or buzz is approximately 60 Hz and 120 Hz,
respectively.
Status light: displays the bypass state; when lit, the effect is
active.
Pedal: bypasses or enables the effect. This works the same as
the Effects window’s Bypass button.
