Distortion
The distortion pedal is a "high gain" distorter for crunch and lead
guitar sounds. If you like typically "British" amp sounds and want to
quickly record a guitar track with little effort, this pedal is for you.
An entire valve pre-amp circuit has been modeled, including the
typical EQ curve. The amplification is "valve-typical", i.e. it doesn't
start quickly but is harmonic and soft. Even at full power the pedal
still reacts softly to a guitar and its settings (e.g. pick-up choice and
tone controller). For instance, you can influence the distortion even
more by using the volume knob on the guitar.
There are only three parameters on this effect; however, these
interact with each other and can thus generate quite a variable
sound:
• Low: The "bass" controller. This allows you to set the share of
basses, even after the distortion. The type of prefiltering is important
for guitar amps in particular, and is characteristic for the basic
sound. You should set the bass controller depending on the basic
