Input Section

NPUT
G
AIN
Controls plugin input level. The input level can have a dramatic effect on
the behavior of the plugin. Experiment, too, with the level of the signal
being sent
from
the DAW.
The small light next to the Input knob indicates input peak level. Green
generally indicates a healthy level. An occasional red flash is unlikely to
create unwanted internal clipping, but reduce input gain if the peak is
consistently red.
Range: -24 dB to +24 dB
Default: 0 dB
L
OW
C
UT
Controls the amount of low-shelf attenuation before the signal is sent to
the distortion generator. Higher settings tend to deliver more clarity. Lower
settings typically yield a warmer sound.
Range: Off, -12 dB, -24 dB
Default: Off
Tip: You can largely prevent low frequencies from being distorted without losing low frequency power. Select a
-24 dB low cut and then add back some of the lows using the low shelf in the EQ section. Input is pre-distortion,
while EQ is post-distortion, so the lows are removed before processing and added back later. This helps
prevent the very bottom of the input signal from mudding the distortion, plus, it’s a different sound.
