signal is not modified. As the knob is turned clockwise, the tone of the output

turned counter-clockwise, the tone will become warmer, with the higher 

frequencies being cut. The dry signal is not affected by the TONE knob.

lockwise) to its maximum position (fully clockwise), the amount of distortion 

applied ranges from no distortion at all, to maximum distortion.  The  distortion

circuit is a soft clipper with an even, smooth distortion characteristic and a warm

spectrum at lower DRIVE settings. At higher DRIVE settings, the clipping

becomes more aggressive with sharper edges and more harmonics.

Distortion is applied before the filter. The pre-distortion signal is used to

modulate the filter, which enables more expressive and dynamic control of

the filter sweep even when high levels of DRIVE are used.

created default settings for each effect type, which provide a good starting

point for dialing in an effect. You can recall these factory default values at any
