and it filters the signal before it is distorted by the next stage. This is known as "voicing".
For fun, turn a curve in both directions and move around a bit with the frequency controller
in the spectrum. This will give the amp a completely different character. By combining
channels, pre-amp modes and voicing, you can create a completely individual amp sound
and even imitate other amps.
Equalization
The actual sound control (the "tone stack")
functions rather conventionally: VANDAL offers low,
mid & high settings.
Everything functions like the passive sound regulation network in genuine amps so that the
controllers influence each other to produce numerous variations. Depending on the preamp
mode, the activation frequencies are slightly different.
Reverb
Genuine studio reverb devices are great, and VANDAL has two of them
included in both multi-effect units. However, styles such as surf, twang,
sixties, and others require a spring reverb. We've drawn on famous reverb
spirals for our modelling.
Everything sounds natural with complete authenticity. This means that it has an old-school
style rattle and typical rippling on the attack.
Master
The master control may be used to determine more than just the total amp
volume. Since this is located before the end tubes in real amps, you can also
use it to control the end stage distortion level.
This is very easily perceived in the class A mode; it doesn't just get louder, it also becomes
more compressed and distorted.
If you are used to amps without a master volume, simply leave this at the maximum setting
and control gain via a pre-stage and the final volume and the cabinet simulation or at the
console output.
