DISTORTION CONTROLS
DIST IN
This is the input for the DISTORTION effect. When nothing is plugged into this jack, the CLEAN output of the bassdrum
generator is normalized to it. You can break that internal connection and process other signals with the DISTORTION
effect by plugging something else into the DIST IN jack.
DIST IN LVL
This control adjusts the volume of the signal into the DISTORTION effect. Use it to reduce the level of loud signals for
processing.
DIST CONTROL
The amount of DISTORTION can be varied via this control. This control adjusts the gain of the high gain stage driving
the distortion clippers. At maximum setting, there is THOUSANDS of times signal gain, and thus, you may encounter
some noise depending on your input signal levels! This is totally normal. The DISTORTION amount can be varied by
voltage control by plugging a CV signal into the DIST CV input.
As you vary the DISTORTION amount with this control/CV input you will notice the DIST indicator LED near the DIST
OUTPUT jack light up. When this LED lights up, distortion is occurring. This LED serves as a visual indicator for the
severity of DISTORTION you are introducing to the signal.
DIST OUTPUT
The output signal from the DISTORTION effect appears here. This output can produce extremely hot modular levels just
like the CLEAN output.
