/ 2 1 . DISTORTION /
The DISTORTION effect is capable of producing an ex­
tremely broad range of distortion sounds that are ideal
for virtually all guitar styles. Whether you want a light
overdrive effect or real heavy-metal distortion, this pro­
gram can provide it.
Distortion (DISTORTION): 0 - 100%
This parameter sets the "degree" of distortion pro­
duced. A setting of 0 produces a perfectly clean
sound, while a setting of 100 produces the most
heavily distorted sound.
Midrange EQ Frequency (MID FRQ.): 560 Hz, 800 Hz,
1.0 kHz, 1.5 kHz, 2.0 kHz
Sets the mid-frequency range to be boosted or cut
using the next parameter: MID GAIN.
Midrange EQ Gain (MID GAIN): - 12 - -H2 dB
Boosts or cuts response in the frequency range set
by the MID FRQ parameter (above). A setting of 0
produces no boost or cut. Minus settings (e.g: -6
dB) cut response in the selected frequency range,
while plus settings (e.g: +12 dB) boost response.
Treble Boost/Cut (TREBLE): - 12 - -H2 dB
Permits boosting or cutting the high-frequency
range. Minus settings (e.g: - 6 dB) reduce the high-
frequency content of the sound, while plus settings
(e.g: -l-6 dB) emphasize the high-frequencies.
Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 1 - 1 0 0
Determines the amplitude of the input signal required
to trigger the distortion effect. This parameter, in
conjunction with the RELEASE parameter below,
functions effectively as a noise gate to cut out hiss
and noise when an input signal is not present. TRG
LEVEL should be set so that the effect is activated
only when a note is played on the instrument used.
Release Time (RELEASE): 5 — 32000 ms
Determines the amount of time it takes for the distor­
tion gate to close after the input signal drops below
the trigger level. Proper setting of the RELEASE
parameter is essential to allow a natural decay of the
source instrument sound.
Distortion Level (DISTORTION): 0 — 100%
Sets the "degree" or "depth" of the distortion por­
tion of the effect.
Reverb Balance (REV BAD: 0 — 100%
Determines the amount of reverb applied to the
distortion sound.
Initial Reverb Delay (PRE PLY): 0.1 — 50.0 ms
This parameter produces a delay between the arrival
of the input signal and the beginning of the reverb
effect.
Reverb Time (REV TIME): 0.3 - 99.0 s
The length of time it takes for the level of reverbera­
tion at 1 kHz to decrease by 60 dB.
High Frequency Reverb Time Ratio (HIGH): 0.1
1.0
This parameter allows alteration of the high-
frequency reverb time in relation to the overall reverb
time.
Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 1 - 1 0 0
Determines the amplitude of the input signal required
to trigger the effect. This parameter, in conjunction
with the RELEASE parameter below, functions ef­
fectively as a noise gate to cut out hiss and noise
when an input signal is not present. TRG LEVEL
should be set so that the effect is activated only
when a note is played on the instrument used.
Release Time (RELEASE): 5 — 32000 ms
Determines the amount of time it takes for the distor­
tion gate to close after the input signal drops below
the trigger level. Proper setting of the RELEASE
parameter is essential to allow a natural decay of the
source instrument sound.
