Basic Settings
Royal Tone
This is the lowest driving Overdrive of the 3 and is on the
Green
channel.
Volume, Drive and Tone are the same as in other pedals.
Presence can create some top end sparkle.
Headroom
The Headroom switch (+9V/+18V) gives the effect, at 18V,
a longer breath before overdriving the signal. Some may
perceive it as more transparent sounding.
Clipping
The clipping switch gives you the choice between 3
settings:
•
OD (OverDrive)
(1)
This adds the 4 symmetrical soft clipping diodes to the feedback loop of the
second opamp stage of the effect. Gives a warm overdrive.
•
None
No clipping diodes in the signal path of the effect, so all clipping comes only from
the second opamp stage. Compares best to a clean boost.
•
Distortion
Adds 2 hard clipping diodes after the second opamp stage. Gives a bit harsher
overdrive/distortion.
Note:
1.
This is a low gain overdrive. Only with the drive at 3 o’clock (75%) and volume at
around noon (50%) will you notice the signal breaking up. This is normal.
2.
Adding too much presence can make the effect harsh sounding. By default turn
the presence knob off and only add when needed.
