Aside from the Type B mode, this preset is governed by the EQ and Temperature and settings. Experiment with
those. Note that there is no input low cut, so the entire signal is processed. The relatively cold Temperature setting
keep the synth sharp.

Issue: The loop is boomy and lacks definition.
Input: Low cut -24 dB, ST mode
Gain section: Gain 13.5, Overdrive Type A (left)

Output: Temperature set to 85
This preset is about keeping the low-frequency muck out of the processing without losing the bottom end. The input
low cut at -24 dB assures a clean bottom; the 12 dB low boost in the EQ section brings back the life. The High Mid
boost keeps the life in the track.

Issue: The overdrive is not dynamic enough.
This is very similar to Low Cut, but it adds Punch from the Dynamics section. Blend is set to maximum, so all of the Punch
dynamics are heard.
The input low cut at -24 dB assures a clean bottom for processing; the 12 dB low boost in the EQ section brings back the life.
