–
Low-pass filter selector. Range: 0, 1, 2
The low-pass filter enables you to filter the output of the Distortion. You have
the choice of between three different low-pass filters for a brighter sound at
one end, or a fatter sound at the other. Choose the LP level according to
your pick-ups, your amplifier speaker/cabinet, and the sound you want to
produce.

TIPS & TRICKS - DISTORTION
It’s generally considered best practice to search for the right sound start-
ing from a “neutral” distortion point (which will also depend on your pick-
ups and amplifier).
•
Start with the following parameter configuration:
Brgt
:
Á
(on);
Tone[%]
: 50.1;
LP
: 1.
•
Adjust the
Brgt
,
Tone
, and
LP
parameters to find the sound you are
looking for.
Keep in mind that the low-pass filters (
LP
) allow you to alter the amount
of high tones in your distortion without changing the amount of bass and
middle frequency content.
•
For a bright sound with plenty of high tones, set the low-pass filters to
LP
: 1.
•
For a sound that is less bright with stronger middle tones, set the low-
pass filters to
LP
: 2.
If you want a deeper, fatter sound (i.e., more low frequencies) without
changing the amount of mid tones disengage the Brgt switch (
Brgt
:
Â
, off).
In the PedalPro, the amount of distortion is defined by the gain of the Pre-
amplifier or Boost (see the
Boost section
).
•
To counter a very loud pick-up and produce a gentler blues overdrive
sound, use negative gain values. To do this, engage the Boost and set
the gain to a negative value.
•
A similar effect can be achieved by reducing the input level via the
Compressor output level, while leaving the Boost off.
