Specification

Controls

High Pass Frequency: controls the cutoff frequency to be distorted, ranging from 100Hz (for thicker, fuzzier saturation) or 1kHz for ultra-sharp definition.
High Drive: Sets the amount of distortion for the highpass side.
High Level: Sets the output volume of the distorted high-pass signal.
Low Pass Frequency: controls the cutoff frequency to be mixed back to the high-pass side. Ranging from 50Hz(for only sub-bass) and 500Hz to preserve some cleanness.
Low Comp: Sets the amount of compression for the low-pass signal.
Low Level: Sets the output volume of the low-pass signal.
Master: Sets the overall volume of the unit.
Low shelf: +-12dB @ 80 Hz
500 Hz: +-12dB
1 kHz: +-12dB
High shelf: +-12dB @ 5 kHz
