Distortion

Need more thanjust Overdrive?
Distortion provides more	than
100dB of analog gain — and it has
an additional set of Bass and Treble
controls following the distortion
stage. Although not based on any
			Lo	-25dB to +18dB	Low frequency Drive
particular pedal, this effect has a
			Mid	-25dB to +18dB	Mid frequency Drive
sonic kinship with several classic
			Hi	0-18dB	High frequency Drive
distortion pedals and fuzz boxes.
			Drive	0-50	Amount of distortion
			Tone	0-25	High frequency roll-off
			Bass	± 25dB	Post-Drive bass control
			Trebl	± 25dB	Post-Drive treble control
			Level	0dB to 64dB	Output level

Unlike the other MPX G2 Gain effects, Preamp was not designed to function as a stomp box to use in front of your amplifier. It is a fully featured, programmable analog guitar preamp. Use Preamp for stand-alone applications (direct record- ing without an amp, or to drive a power amp and cabs). When using Preamp for direct recording, be sure to turn on the Speaker Simulator (Edit Select, Speaker Sim, Simulator: On).

InLvl (Input Level) determines the amount of clean headroom the preamp has. The setting of this single control will have a great impact on the overall behavior and sound of the preamp. At higher values, the preamp will distort very easily

—for example, with a Mid tone control boost of only 5dB. At lower levels, the tone controls behave more like EQ controls — making low, mid and high guitar frequencies louder (or softer) without adding distortion.
