743 Subtle Distort
Adds small amount of distortion to signal.
PAUs: 1
Use Subtle Distort to apply small amounts of distortion to a signal. The distortion characteristic is set with
the Curvature and EvenOrders parameters. Increasing Curvature increases the distortion amount while
EvenOrders increases the asymmetry of the distortion, adding even distortion harmonics. The distorted
signal then is sent through two one-pole lowpass
fi lters and added to the dry input signal. The lowpass
fi lters can reduce any harshness from the raw distortion operation. The Dry In/Out is provided as a utility
to audition the distortion signal in the absence of dry signal. Out Gain and Dist Gain can be adjusted
together to match the level of the bypassed (dry only) signal. Adding distortion to the dry signal will
increase the output level unless Out Gain is reduced.
Parameters:

In/Out When set to In the distortion is active; when set to Out the distortion is bypassed.
Dry In/Out Utility parameter to listen to distortion without the dry signal.
Out Gain The overall gain or amplitude at the output of the effect.
Dist Gain The gain or amplitude of the distorted signal path prior to passing through the Out Gain
adjustment.
Curvature The amount of distortion; none at 0% and maximum at 100% .
Even Orders The asymmetry of the distortion (number of even harmonics); none at 0% and maximum
at 100% .
