Line 6 GearBox 3.7 – GearBox How To....

the volume of Sss and Ssh sounds that get recorded.

To use the De-Esser appropriately, try first recording a test vocal track without it. If you hear more Sss and Shh sounds that you would like, try adding a band of EQ to that recorded track in your recording program. Set that EQ to provide a bandpass with a narrow width or Q, and set it to cut quite a bit, maybe something like -20dB. Now set the frequency for that band of EQ to one of the frequency points available from GearBox’s De-Esser, and playback the recorded track, switching back and forth between enabling and bypassing the EQ to hear the results. Try different frequencies until you find the one that seems to have the most effect on the Sss and Shh sounds, then disable that EQ. Use that frequency setting in GearBox’s De-Esser, set the AMOUNT knob to a medium setting, and record another test track. If all has gone well, you should hear that your Sss and Ssh sounds are being reduced, and you can then further adjust the AMOUNT knob as needed.

See the Model Gallery for specifics of the Female De-Esser and Male De-Esser Models.

How to use the Wah and Volume effects

GearBox’s Wah and Volume effects can be controlled via MIDI using a hardware controller or messages from MIDI software. See the MIDI documentation available on the GearBox - User Manuals page to learn more about setting up MIDI control. The Wah effects can also be used without a MIDI controller for a “parked wah” sound: just turn the Wah effect on, and set its Position knob to get the sound you like.
