Panel controls

MIX

The MIX knob is used to set the balance between dry and processed signals, which is useful for bass and kick sounds. It is common knowledge that overdrive effect may reduce low end of the processed signal. This knob helps to avoid too much trapping of the sound.

VOL

The VOLume knob attenuate the effect volume right before the mixing stage.

TONE

The TONE knob controls the quantity of a high frequency spectrum in the effect’s sound.

GAIN

The GAIN knob sets the level of distortion.

FAT

When the FAT switch is turned on, additional richness is being added to the sound structure.

CLIP

The CLIP mode switch changes the structure of distortions.

The SI mode gives a softer sound typical for vintage distortion effects. The LED mode is meant for hard distortion, the sound acquires a lot of harmonics.

The GAIN knob works together with FAT and CLIP switches. Each of them affects the other two. That allows you to obtain different variations of the sound.
