Input
The sta
tion that you will most likely want to activate first is the input controller.
Just like with a genuine guitar or bass setup, it's important to ensure the
highest possible input level, in order to work optimally. This is even more
important for distorted sounds and natural high-gain playing styles. Use
metering for this, too.
As required, activate the noise gate and adjust it so that it lightly suppresses
the input signal during pauses in playing. VANDAL does not cut the input on
classic gates too hard, but rather regulates them finely via the signal energy
beginning at the highs (where noise is most audible).
Stomp boxes
The real world has produc
ed a series of effect devices popular with guitarists
and bassists in the "stomp box" format. We've also included a rich palette of
these devices. Vandal SE includes four "stomp slots" that can be equipped
with effects from the list. The signal flow within this chain runs from left to right.
Since all of the controls are self-explanatory, we won't describe them here.
Vandal - Amplifier
Vandal SE basically offers
2 different amplifiers: Guitar Amp and Bass Amp.
The amplifier type depends on the selected preset.
During development, a large selection of famous amplifier brands and models
were not included. To guarantee that you are nevertheless able to get a
number of different sound characteristics out of your Vandal SE amp, the
amplifiers are set up variably. Internally, circuit designs work absolutely the
same as the real devices. In several ways, however, Vandal SE goes in its own
direction in terms of the sound it offers.
