INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS/PARAMETERS

Distortion/Exciter

The Distortion effect is a clipped, overdriven version of the dry signal. The Exciter adds subtle harmonics to the dry signal for extra sizzle.

Parameters

Off/Drive: The Off/Drive parameter determines whether the effect is activated and controls the amount of

drive. There are 10 exciter settings (E0 - E9) and 10 distortion settings (D0 - D9). Note: When adjusting the distortion settings, increase slowly to avoid feedback.

Voicing: This parameter selects different EQ voicings. Listen to each to see which best fits your needs.

Volume: The Volume parameter controls the signal level after the distortion. With exciter, it controls the amount of added harmonics without changing the raw signal.

Noise Gate Threshold: The Noise Gate Threshold sets the minimum signal level allowed to pass through the noise gate. Higher values yield less allowable low level signals (a higher noise floor). Lower values allow more low level signals to pass (a lower noise floor), thus allowing unblocked noise to go through the

noise gate.
