DISTORTION

Iris 2 includes six of the ﬁnest distortion algorithms from

Trash 2, from classic amp modeling to radical digital number-

crunching.

Distortion Types

Tube is an emulation of tube saturation with a mix of even

and odd harmonics.

Saturate is a subtle crossover distortion inspired by push-pull style ampliﬁers.

Clipping is a harsh, solid-state style distortion.

Asymmetrical is a radical distortion that exhibits an extreme response to the incoming

audio.

Scream is also an asymmetrical distortion and gives a fuzzier, more tonal quality to allow

for high-gain (“singing”) distortion.

Aliasing engages lower sample rates resulting in a lo-ﬁ digital distortion.

Distortion Parameters

Amount controls how much of the distortion algorithm is applied to the signal sent to the

distortion module.

Tone allows you to blend between dark and bright tones. Values of 0-49 remove high

frequencies and boost low frequencies to give a darker distortion sound. Values of 51-100

remove low frequencies and boost high frequencies to make a brighter distortion. A value

of 50 leaves the tone control neutral or “ﬂat.”
