FXAlgs #724-6, 728: Distortion
Algorithm Reference-97
PAGE 2
Wet/Dry The amount of distorted (wet) signal relative to unaffected (dry) signal.
Out Gain The overall gain or amplitude at the output of the effect. For distortion, it is often
necessary to turn the output gain down as the distortion drive is turned up.
Dist Drive Applies a boost to the input signal to overdrive the distortion algorithm. When
overdriven, the distortion algorithm will soft-clip the signal. Since distortion drive will
make your signal very loud, you may have to reduce the Out Gain as the drive is
increased.
W
armth A lowpass Þlter in the distortion control path. This Þlter may be used to reduce some of
the harshness of some distortion settings without reducing the bandwidth of the signal.
Cab Bypass The guitar ampliÞer cabinet simulation may be bypassed. When set to ÒInÓ, the cabinet
simulation is active; when set to ÒOutÓ, there is no cabinet Þltering. [MonoDistort + Cab]
Cab Preset Eight preset cabinets have been created based on measurements of real guitar ampliÞer
cabinets. The presets are Basic, Lead 12, 2x12, Open 12, Open 10, 4x12, Hot 2x12, and Hot
12. See description of FX Algs #729-732 for more information. [MonoDistort + Cab]
Highpass Allows you to reduce the bass content of the distortion content. If you need more
Þltering to better simulate a speaker cabinet, you will have to choose a larger distortion
algorithm. [Mono Distortion]
MonoDistort + EQ and StereoDistort+EQ
Cabinet HP A hipass Þlter which controls the low-frequency limit of a simulated loudspeaker
cabinet.
Cabinet LP A lowpass Þlter which controls the high-frequency limit of a simulated cabinet.
Bass Gain The amount of boost or cut that the bass shelving Þlter should apply to the low
frequency signals in dB. Every increase of 6 dB approximately doubles the amplitude of
the signal. Positive values boost the bass signal below the speciÞed frequency. Negative
values cut the bass signal below the speciÞed frequency.
Bass Freq The center frequency of the bass shelving Þlter in intervals of one semitone.
Treb Gain The amount of boost or cut that the treble shelving Þlter should apply to the high
frequency signals in dB. Every increase of 6 dB approximately doubles the amplitude of
the signal. Positive values boost the treble signal above the speciÞed frequency. Negative
values cut the treble signal above the speciÞed frequency.
Treb Freq The center frequency of the treble shelving Þlter in intervals of one semitone.
Mid Gain The amount of boost or cut that the mid parametric Þlter should apply in dB. Every
increase of 6 dB approximately doubles the amplitude of the signal. Positive values
boost the signal at the speciÞed frequency. Negative values cut the signal at the
speciÞed frequency.
Mid Freq The center frequency of the mid parametric Þlter in intervals of one semitone. The boost
or cut will be at a maximum at this frequency.
Mid Wid The bandwidth of the mid parametric Þlter may be adjusted. You specify the bandwidth
in octaves. Small values result in a very narrow Þlter response. Large values result in a
very broad response.
