Lo-Fi
Use this parameter to add creative destruction to your delay signal.
With the Lo-Fi knob you control the amount of internal distortion, the
resampling quality, etc. The higher you go the worse the quality gets from
a pure technical stand point... but the more interesting it may sound for
many guitar sounds and styles.

In the past two decades Brainworx owner Dirk Ulrich has produced and
recorded with members of Dream Theater, Toto, Michael Jackson
and with
many more famous and infamous acts. The Brainworx Studio in Germany
(www.brainworx- studio.de) is equipped with one of only nine NEVE VXS
72 consoles ever made, and it also hosts some of the best outboard EQs
and mic pre-amps available.
Using this impressive setup Dirk has produced a huge variety of custo-
mized ‘Recording Chains’ for the Friedman Buxom Betty amplifier, which
you can apply to your Plugin amp settings. Imagine a selection of 100
perfectly mic’d and EQ-ed cabinets that you can select and use instantly
with a single mouse click!
We carefully placed up to 12 microphones on each cabinet used. These
mics were then fed to individual channels on the vintage Neve VXS console.
This configuration gave us fine control over the mix of the various micro-
phones used and the ability to apply Neve filters and EQs. The final mix
was routed to Pro Tools for recording.
An innovative new approach was also used to capture various pre-amps
and EQ chains. A parallel chain was created that was split to three
different hardware preamps and EQs. These parallel chains were also
routed to their own discrete channels on the Neve VXS console and then
sent to Pro Tools for capture. This routing allowed us to record each chain
individually or blend them for interesting combinations.
