6) Volume
Volume makeup using a valve circuit that adds some
atmosphere. This circuit ensures that the output signal does
not exceed 0 dB.
am-phibia - "Expert" view mode ('expert view')
Opening this view mode gives you even more opportunities for editing. Some decisive
sound parameters of the device are accessible directly from here:
- Opto mem
This changes how the optical coupling device addresses the compressor and thus the
related memory effect. You can use the "opto-mem" controller to work directly with the
parameters for the system lag and influence the degree of program dependency.
Transients generally have less influence on controlling than longer signals. If set to
minimum, the circuit "quickly" recovers. If set higher, the release time also increases
according to the duration of a loud signal.
- Clipping
This function controls the behavior of all tubes in am-phibia. Soft clipping (0) generates soft
sound characteristics in overdrive. Hard clipping (100) creates a more global volume,
although it may be high-pitched if handled incorrectly. If this setting is used with guitars, the
sound of the entire device may change drastically, particularly in combination with
distortion sounds.
As a guitar player you can make
the settings best if you use the
volume controller of the guitar to
control the distortion.
You will thereby most likely find
the setting where am-phibia
harmonizes best with the input
signal.
With different sound sources, such experiments are less difficult, but are worth looking into.
