Merlin
This is best used as a Mid to High Gain overdrive and is
on the
Red
channel.
Volume, Gain, Treble and Bass are the same as in other
pedals although Treble may work in a reverse order than
you would expect.
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 Symmetry
Enables you to switch between the normally internal
switching options of the original. As this effect has a lot of
diode switching options, here is a snippet from the schematic:
•
A-Sym(metrical)
Adds an extra single clipping diodes to the circuit. A-symmetrical will be slightly
louder, cleaner and with a bit more headroom.
•
Stock
(1)
•
Sym(metrical)
Adds 2 extra clipping diodes to the circuit. Symmetrical will sound smoother and a
bit more compressed, but less compressed than the stock setting
