2.2 Maul distortion algorithms
Each drive stage in Maul features 32 different algorithms with which to process the incoming
signal, selected with the Drive Type drop-down menu described in the previous section.
About the graphs
The graphs in this section represent the
waveshaping response of most of Maul's
algorithms. These do not make sense in the
context of which some algorithms work, such
as the Ring Mod and Digital algorithms.
The x-axis of each graph represents time,
while the y-axis represents amplitude. With no
processing applied (with the Drive Type set to
'Thru'), the waveshaping response can be
represented by the graph to the right.
DCAM
Thru
This category contains DC AM analogue modelled distortion algorithms of diode, transistor and
tube-based circuits. The following graphs show the waveshaping response at 50% and 100% Drive
amounts. The x-axis represents time while the y-axis represents amplitude.
