Tips & Tricks
While soft clip is on, pushing up the Output knob will push the signal more
into the soft clipper adding more saturation to the signal.
While saturation is on, pushing up the Input knob will cause the signal to hit
the higher saturation stage adding more saturation. (Not to worry about the
input clipping L.E.D.'s, unwanted distortion will accrue only if the output
L.E.D.'s are on).
Basic Block Diagram
The Signal goes into the input amplifier controlled by the input knob +-15db.
If Punch is on, the signal get a parallel process to add punchiness.
The signal is then split and goes to the compressor unit as well as the detector.
If side chain is on, the left channel is going to the compressor and the right
channel to the detector.
The attack and release knobs shape the envelop of the signal inside the
detector.
The signal from the detector control the amplitude level of the signal being fed
to the compressor unit.
If Saturate is on, a tube style saturation is added to the signal.
If Clean is on, the punch and saturation effects (if on) will be reduced and the
output gain stage would be completely transparent.
The Signal goes to the output amplifier controlled by the output knob +-15dB.
If Soft Clipping is on, it will round the signal when getting close to 0.0dB and
makes sure it does not cross above.
