NPUT CONTROL
Controls input level from the DAW. The peak level light provides feedback
about input level. A green light reflects a healthy input peak level. A few
red peaks will probably not cause problems, but constant red means that
you need to reduce the input. While setting up your input level, experiment
with the level of the signal being sent from the DAW itself. Controlling the
input level externally or internally will affect the behavior of the plugin in
different ways.
Range: -24 dB to +24 dB
Default: 0 dB
L
OW
C
UT
Controls the amount of low frequency roll off before the signal is sent to
the overdrive generator. It prevents heavy low frequency sounds from
making the distortion effect feel inarticulate or gooey. You can make up
much of this lost LF using the EQ section, which is post-distortion.
The three-position switch controls the slope of the shelf.
Range: off, -12 dB, -24 dB
Default: Off

Sets how a stereo signal will be processed:
•
In
Stereo
mode, the entire stereo image is processed, so the middle is processed in the same manner as the sides.
•
In
M
mode, the middle of the stereo image is distorted. The sides are not processed.
•
In
S
mode, the sides of the stereo image are distorted. The middle is not processed.
Selectively processing different parts of the stereo image helps you better place the overdrive signal within the mix and to
achieve a desired sound with less overall processing.
