COMPRESSOR
This control allows setting the input
gain of the compressor that will
translate into how much the signal
is compressed while our intelligent
make-up gain algorithm keeps the
output of the compressor at usable
levels. The compressor has 5 ratios
available:
4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1 and ALL IN.
DISTORTION
At the heart of the distortion circuit is
an accurate model of Nolly’s favorite
vintage distortion unit. In collaboration
with Darkglass, he used that as a
platform for developing 5 distinctive
distortion modes ranging from mild
and very articulate distortion to synth-
like fuzz sounds.
CABINET SIMULATION
ADAM supports Impulse Response
(IR) cabinet simulations and has 5
cabinet slots on board. The default IRs
have been captured by Nolly himself.
New IRs can be assigned to the 5 slots
using the Darkglass Suite (desktop or
mobile).
MULTIBAND COMPRESSOR
In the clean sidechain you will find a fixed multiband
compressor. This multiband compressor incorporates
Nolly’s personal settings that have been developed
with years of experience in the studio. There are no
controls for the multiband compressor.
BLEND
The blend control allows you to mix the distorted
signal with the clean sidechain signal.
EQ
Last in the signal chain is a programmable 6-band
graphic equalizer that allows you to tailor your sound
even further. The full description of this functionality
can be found in the “Controls” section of the manual.
