1 - Tube-ish. Warms things up and rounds out the top a bit. Lovely on bass!
2 - Tape-ish. This setting gives you the sound of pushing the signal a bit into analog tape.
Extended bottom end with a high end sparkle. A bit like a loudness button if you're into
Fletcher-Munson.
3 - Solid State-ish: Like a vintage 70's channel strip o ff an API or Quad Eight console, this
setting has a forward push to the midrange.
Transient Response is an emulation of Slew Rate. What is that, you ask? Basically, it is how
quickly power is available to reproduce a fast incoming transient. A high slew rate means
that there is a lot of power immediately available and the transient is reproduced cleanly
and linearly; a low slew rate means that power isn't available quickly and the transient is
somewhat rounded o
ff . Another way to think of this is as compression that e ff ects the high
end of signal—from about 1kHz up on the AIP. When engineers refer to a piece of
equipment as being "fast" or "slow" they are probably referring to slew rate. Set it to
BRIGHT for fast slew and a nice, sharp attack. Set it to DARK to round o ff the transients a
bit and get the sound of a channel with a slower slew rate, like an old tube console or a
Neve 1073 preamp. Dan tends to use BRIGHT for his main guitars and DARK for clean and
less dirty sounds. Luke thinks of it as way of pushing things forward or back in the mix -
BRIGHT brings things forward, DARK pushes them back.
