Controls

 

Input Level  

Determines the level at which signal enters the plugin. 
Range: -18 to +18 dB  
Default: 0 dB 
Reset: 0 dB  

Input Drive 

This control increases the level going into the plugin, while inversely decreasing the output in order to maintain equal 
loudness. Higher Drive levels result in increased harmonic distortion. Note: At higher Drive levels the amplitude of the signal 
may be clipped (depending on your source material), which may result in lower perceived loudness. 
Range: 0 to 100  
Default: 0  
Reset: 0
