Controls
CLEAN.
Based on the latest versions of
the hardware equivalent, the Clean
channel can give you warm cleans or
crunch tones when the GAIN knob is
increased. When the
PUSH
switch is
engaged you obtain tones from a
beautiful warm crunch up to a great
overdrive.
VINTAGE.
Here is where the things
become legendary in the high gain
territory. The tone is full of warm
overdriven harmonics, juicy, liquid. It is
the perfect tone for both heavy rhythm
guitars and leads.
MODERN.
The other legendary high
gain mode. It delivers the same gain
structure of the VINTAGE channel but
with a potentially more aggressive top
end. You can get results similar to the
VINTAGE channel depending on the
PRESENCE knob setting.
GAIN.
This knob adjusts the amount of
gain of the selected channel.
TONE-STACK.
Simply Bass, Mid, Treble as
you would expect on a great amp.
There is one independent tone-stack
for each channel.
CHANNEL OUTPUT.
This knob represents
the channel volume of the preamp.
Since it is part of the circuit it affects the
general tone of the channel.
INPUT [dB].
This knob adjusts the amount
of signal entering the plugin and it can
be used as a clean boost before the
preamp. The INPUT LEVEL meter displays
the amount of signal in input and it is
directly affected by this knob.
OUTPUT [dB].
This is a clean volume
knob on the general output of the
plugin. Use this control to properly feed
the next plugin in the chain without
affecting the tone of MercuryRec. The
general output level is displayed by the
OUTPUT LEVEL meter.
LOAD/SAVE.
The LOAD button opens a
window to select a previously saved
preset – this includes knobs, buttons,
switches, SIZE, TWEAK and SET settings –.
The SAVE button allows to save a file
containing the current settings of the
plugin.
