The Saturation knob allows for a wide range of input signals to provide a nicely
saturated tape effect. The overall range of Tape Saturation is rig dependant.
Depending on your application and your input signal level, the affect of the tape
saturation will vary. Below are some general guidelines.
When using Deco in front of an amp, lower output single coil guitar pickups
will experience a rich harmonic enhancement and a lighter overdrive effect.
When using Deco in front of an amp, higher output humbucker pickups
will experience heavier overdriven harmonics when the Saturation knob is
turned to maximum.
Deco accepts up to +8dBu of input signal. When using Deco in a hot effects
loop of a guitar amp, or when driving Deco with a hot output from a synth
or mixer insert, you should reduce either the Saturation knob or your input
level. The signal will still experience high levels of tape saturation at these
lower settings due to the hotter signal input level.
