DISTORTED REALITY
The power of the GHOST lies in its complex stereo audio effect chain with 96kHz,
32­bit internal audio processing, consisting of 2 VCAs (pre and post), 3 distortion
stages, a multimode filter, delay, reverb, compressor, and sidechain ducking
envelope. The order of the three main processing blocks ­
DELAY/REVERB, VCF,
and DISTORTION ­ can be changed by pressing the
ROUTING
button, letting you
achieve many different flavors of sound without having to repatch. The settings of
the
GAIN , DRIVE and COMPRESSOR in the audio chain are adjusted manually for
optimal control over the dynamics.
There are three possible orders for the DELAY/REVERB (FX) , DISTORTION and
VCF blocks:
1. FX

DISTORTION

VCF
2. DISTORTION

VCF

FX
3. VCF

FX

DISTORTION
The selected order is shown by the brightness of the ROUTING button, and written
as a hint on the faceplate:
 when ROUTING button LED is off – first chain is selected
 when ROUTING button is semi lit – second chain is selected
 when ROUTING button is full on – third chain is selected

HINT : experiment with the audio chain order to fit your needs and find new and
unexpected sounds with a push of a button.
We advise exploring the routing chains and picking your favorite based on each
situation. From our sound design experience with the module, the first routing chain
is well suited to rumble/ghost sounds, the second is good for cleaner effects based
on overdriving the filter, and the third will generally have the heaviest distorted
tones.
