You may also hit the model with less signal by setting the Drive control to a negative value
without loss of overall volume.
You may still experience in increase in signal level when using positive Drive gain with some
models; you can use the Output Gain control to correct this.
Please note that the Drive parameter may have a greater range than you need for a given
model, particularly when Auto Drive is engaged.
Character Model
{preset list}
The following list describes the device from which each model was derived:
• None: No modeling is applied.
• Transformer: Applies the harmonic distortion signature of a transformer-coupled input.
• Valve: A tube-based EQ input stage.
• FET: Model of a solid state (FET transistor) front end.
• SoftSat: Tube-based EQ with saturation. This is the ‘SoftSat’ from the MH Production Bundle
Character plug-in.
• SoftSat Gain: Tube-based EQ with saturation, gain adjusted so the saturation point lines up
with 0dB (e.g. the signal will get louder). This ‘SoftSat’ is specific to the 3d DSP.
• Boutique Tube: Hand-made tube mic pre.
• American Transformer 1: A variation of the “Transformer” model.
• American Transformer 2: Second variation of the “Transformer” model.
• California Tube Mic: American designed tube mic pre.
• California Tube Line: American designed tube line input.
• Modern Tube DI: Mastering quality tube DI.
• Modern Tube EQ: Mastering quality EQ.
• Modern Tube Soft Sat: Mastering quality EQ with saturation.
• Modern Tube LG: A tube mic pre with a low gain setting.
• Modern Tube MG: A tube mic pre with a medium gain setting.
• Modern Tube HG: A tube mic pre with a high gain setting.
• Modern Tube Sym: Mastering quality EQ
• Modern Tube Soft Sat: Mastering quality tube mic pre with saturation.
• Classic British Mic Pre: A favorite large console mic pre.
• American Solid State: FET mastering EQ.
• California Vocal Box: Transformer coupled tube vocal processor.
• California Vocal Box Drive: Transformer coupled tube vocal processor with increased gain.
• British Mic Pre Clone: A popular clone of a favorite British mic pre.
