ONTROL
Sets the plugin’s input gain. You can, alternatively, adjust the input gain from the DAW, but this will result in a
somewhat different sound. Use the adjacent VU meter for adjustments.
Range: -24 dB to +24 dB
Default: 0 dB

EVEL LIGHT
A LED above the knob indicates input peak level. When the LED is blank, input gain is probably too low for the plugin to work
properly. Green or yellow indicate an appropriate level and red shows input clipping. It is very unlikely that the plugin will clip
internally, but the input level will influence performance. You may achieve desirable results by clipping the input—try it.

M
ODE
Sets how a stereo signal will be processed:
• In Stereo mode, the entire stereo image is together.
• In M mode, the middle of the stereo image is distorted. Sides are not processed.
• In S mode, the sides of the stereo image are distorted. The middle is not processed.

EVEL CONTROL
When the Input section is set to Middle (M) or Side (S), this knob controls the input level of the M or S signal, independent of
the plugin input. When Stereo input is selected, this control is inactive.
