Controls for Filter Interaction
The following controls change the way in which the two filters interact, are routed to the crossfader
or provide features unique to either Filter A or Filter B, and are thus located in the middle of the
panel and labeled in green in the previous diagram:
[9] OVERDRIVE - Turn this on
(switch in the up position) to
activate the overdrive circuit
for Filter A. Overdrive provides
a more aggressively saturated
distortion than you can obtain
by simply boosting the Input or
Q-Drive.
With overdrive turned off
(switch in down position), the
output of Filter A is “clean”
(with the exception of any
soft-clipping induced by either
a high IN level or Q-Drive).
[10] DRY SWITCH A - Switch this
to the Dry (up) position to
remove the effect of Filter A at
the XFADE input, meaning the
Filter’s output is identical to its
input.
[11] DRY SWITCH B - Switch this
to the Dry (up) position to
remove the effect of Filter B at
the XFADE input, meaning the
Filter’s output is identical to its
input.
Once you bypass a filter using its DRY switch, you can use the XFADE knob (in conjunction
with the MIX out) to set a wet/dry mix between the processed and unprocessed signals. For
example, if you turn on the OVERDRIVE circuit for Filter A and set Filter B to DRY, the XFADE
knob acts a wet/dry control for distortion.
