for obtaining warm distortion
Tips & tricks
·
Lowpass (LP)
filter the sound before overdriving it heavily
·
Make overdrive scream with
BP (Band Pass)
filter and
good amount of
Resonance

Bypass the unit:
·
Set
Activate
to off
Configure Input Gain:
To keep noise and distortion levels low,
source level (instrument) should be as loud
as possible and
Gain
adjusted accordingly
·
input an audio signal
·
raise
Gain
until LED constantly light
Gain can always be increased to get distortion
Gain range from 0dB to 30dB on a log scale
Disable Trigger System:
·
set
Trigger Mode
to
Pulse Trigger >
·
set
Threshold
level to zero
·
set
Hold
Time
to zero
Configure Output Gain:
Output level should be as high as possible
·
input an audio signal
·
raise
Drive
to maximum
·
raise
Output
until the amplifier / mixing
desk gets an acceptable level
Output level can also be adjusted to match
the volume of the original input signal
(when the 2-pole filter is not activated)
Add Expression with Pedal:
2-pole can be controlled with an expression
or sustain pedal. Cutoff and Env inputs both
handle pedals
Interact with a Modular System:
2-pole can be connected to CV / Gate (Cutoff
gate) outputs following volt / octave format
