Parameter Explanation
BOOST
PRE
(BOOSTER PRE GAIN)
Adjusts the booster gain.
Increasing this value increases the
signal that is input to the main
distortion, making the distortion
stronger. The distortion of the booster
itself does not change.
BOOST
POST
(BOOSTER POST GAIN)
Adjusts the volume when boost is on.
This let you raise (or lower) the
volume when using the booster to
increase the gain when transitioning
from backing to solo.
