8.6 Distortion
8.6.1 Distortion
The Distortion on the hardware
Combining overdrive, feedback and modulation, the Distortion produces a heavy distortion/
fuzz effect, comparable to distortion stomp-boxes for guitars.
Drive
amoUnt Determines the basic amount of distortion.
Color
At lower settings, the general sound is a bit more mufed;
the higher the settings, the brighter it sounds.
Feedback
amoUnt Adjust the amount of the Feedback here.
tonE General tonal characteristic of the Feedback.
tonE mod Modulation introduced in the Feedback.
Output
GatE
The Gate Button is used to cancel out feedback-loops in-
troduced by high Feedback settings.
rElEaSE
This parameter determines how fast the distorted Sound
dies down when the Gate is enabled.
mIx
Mix lets you adjust the amount of the effect in relation to
the dry original audio signal.
