4.5.3. The preamp section
The preamp section has knobs (potentiometers) for the Input Gain, adjustable between -60
dB and -20 dB, positioned right below the VU meters. We also have buttons to invert phase
on each channel, and buttons to turn the EQ section On or Off.
By adjusting the input gain, we change the color of the sound by adding harmonic distortion
and saturation. Even at minimum input gain with EQ off, there is a very slight coloration as
you would find on the original.
In the bottom, we have two other knobs (potentiometers) to control the Output level, (labeled
Output Trim), with A Range® between -24dB and +24dB.
When operating in Double Channel configuration (two channels) the plug-in has two other
switches. The first one is to activate/deactivate Stereo Link (the label is two intersecting
circles). The second one is labeled Stereo Mode, and switches between L/R and M/S.
With these two switches, we can choose between the three modes the plug-in works on
when in Double Channel: Stereo, Mid/Side or Dual Mono.
Stereo mode is achieved only if the Stereo Link switch is On and we have the second
switch in L/R (Left/Right) position. In this mode, any changes we make to one channel are
reproduced in the other channel as well.
If we switch the Stereo Link button to the Off position, we enter the Dual Mono mode. In this
mode, each channel works independently, as if we had two mono channels.
The TridA preamp section configured to
work in M/S mode. Notice the Stereo Link
switch turned Off and the Stereo Mode
switch in the M/S position.
