Damper
Controls the reverb decay time, letting you choose from 11 different damper positions (0
to 10). Select the damper position by clicking the + and - buttons (both of which respond
to extended mouse clicks), or by clicking and dragging inside the damper meter itself.
Please note: The numbers on the meter represent different damper positions; they do
not represent the number of seconds of decay time. Each of the four plates has its own
damper behavior. The same damper position will therefore correspond to different
reverberation decay times, depending on the plate you are using. For example, damper
position 3 in Plate C will give you a much shorter reverberation time than damper
position 3 in Plate A.
Range: 0 to 10 (approximately 1 to 5.4 seconds, depending on the plate)
Default: 2
Bass Cut
There are four high-pass filter modes on the plate input amplifier that cut frequencies at
the range between 10 Hz to 1000 Hz.
Options: 0, 1, 2, 3
Default: 0 (no bass cut)
Drive
Controls the amount of drive added to the signal by modeling the THD behavior of the
driver amplifier and the plate itself.
Range: 0–100
Default: 0
