Lexicon MPX G2 manual Blue Comp, DigiDrive1 and DigiDrive2

The Effects and Parameters

Blue Comp

				Blue Comp is a recreation of
			another popular		compression
			pedal, the CS-3. Like the CS-3 it
			has variable Sustain (Sense),
			Threshold (Thrsh),		Gain, Attack
			(ATime) and Release (RTime) pa-
			rameters. These versatile controls
			make it flexible enough to be used
			with many different styles and any
			type of guitar (including acoustic
Mix	0-100%	Dry/Wet ratio	and bass). Blue Comp is useful in
Level	0ff, -89dB to +6dB	Amount of effect in processsed signal	front of an amp or in the effects
Sense	-72dB to +24dB	Sensitivity (Pre-Compressor level)	loop. Follow a Chorus or Detune
Thrsh	-83dB to 0dB	Gain reduction threshold	effect with Blue Comp to produce
Gain	-72dB to +24dB	Post-Compressor level	a “chime-like” effecta la Andy Sum-
			mers with Police. In fact, you can
ATime	0-2000 ms	Attack time
			use two at once. For example,
RTime	0-2000 ms	Release time
			connect two in series in front of an
			overdrive for super smooth sus-
			tain that's perfect for slide playing.

DigiDrive1 and DigiDrive2

	DigiDrive1	DigiDrive2		The DigiDrive 1 and 2 effects
			combine digital distortion with 3-
			band tone controls. In DigiDrive1,
			the tone controls are in front of the
			distortion. In DigiDrive 2, the tone
			controls follow the distortion. The
			distortion produced by these ef-
			fects is not meant to mimic analog
			distortion, but to provide an alter-
			native sound. (Think “digital fuzz
Mix	0-100%	Dry/Wet ratio	box.”). The next time you’re look-
Level	0ff, -89dB to +6dB	Amount of effect in processsed signal	ing for an in-your-face fuzz effect,
Drive	0-100	Amount of digital distortion	pump one of these into your amp.
Low	-72dB to +24dB	Pre-Drive low frequency cut/boost	You might be surprised at what
Mid	-72dB to +24dB	Pre-Drive mid frequency cut/boost	comes out.
