#915 St_Distortion¶
St compressors > distortion > gates. Stereo in, stereo out.
Effect Type | Suggested Use | Max Sample Rate | In/Out |
|---|---|---|---|
{Z} | [G] | 96kHz | 2, 2 |
#916 Comb Distortion¶
Comp>Eq>Comb>Distortion>Comb>Eq>Gate. Definitive distortion tool with: -pre and post 5 bands parametric eq -curves manual and remote morphing -pre comb for distortion character -post comb for alternate coloration Summed in/Mono out.
Very short delay w/high feedback values introduce comb filtering. Pre_distortion comb is a character tool that dynamically interferes with harmonics. Use it to create the tonal personality of the distortion. Be careful with high positive intensity settings! Post_distortion comb filtering sounds like a static flanger. With careful tweaking you can add a different statictonal quality to your preamp. Comb filtering, equalizers and in-between curves morph settings can dramatically change your sound. You have now access to unlimited distortion possibilities.

#917 Distortion Preamp¶
This instrument preamp has forced feedback, compression, dynamic distortion, EQ, remote ‘volume pedal’ and gate. Summed in, summed out.
Distortion
Fdbk: Controls the amount of “forced feedback,” similar to an amplifier feeding back at high volume levels.
Distortion: Selects distortion “in” or “out”.
Filter: Controls the mix of the pre-drive filter.
Freq: Controls the frequency of a pre-drive band EQ.
Q: Controls the bandwidth or resonance of the pre-drive filter.
Curve: Selects which transformation curve is used to generate distortion.
Drive: Controls how much input (drive) is sent to the distortion. The greater the input, the greater the distortion.
Level: Controls the output level of the distortion.
Flux: Controls the distortion “slew rate” to change its timbre, or how “in your face” it sounds.
HiCut: Controls the cutoff frequency of a gentle lowpass filter.
Comp
Thresh: Sets the input threshold above which compression takes place and below which the signal is left alone.
Gain: Adjusts the output level to improve gain structure.
Attack: Controls how quickly the compressor “clamps down” on a signal after it exceeds the threshold.
Decay: Controls how quickly the compressor “lets go” of a signal once it falls below the threshold.
Ratio: Controls the input to output ratio for signals above the threshold. For example, “6:1” produces 1dB of output for every 6dB of input.
EQ
Trim: Controls the input level to the EQ.
Low: Controls the low EQ boost/cut.
Mid: Controls the mid EQ boost/cut.
High: Controls the high EQ boost/cut.
Low: Controls the low EQ center frequency.
Mid: Controls the mid EQ center frequency.
High: Controls the high EQ center frequency.
Mid Q: Controls the bandwidth amount for the mid EQ frequency
Gate
G Thresh: Sets the input threshold that the signal must exceed to open the gate.
G Attack: Controls how quickly the gate opens up once the signal exceeds the threshold.
G Decay: Controls how quickly the gate closes once the signal falls below the threshold.
Manual
Manual_Ped: Controls volume post-comp/dist/EQ, and pre-gate/feedback. On the Eclipse, this allows users without an external pedal to modulate the effect from the front panel.
