10. Output<br />

Drive Type<br />

Select bypass for a clean sound or one of compressor, rms limiter,<br />

tube overdrive, distortion, tube amp, or fuzz pedal.<br />

Drive Level<br />

Set the amount of drive, from 0 to 100%.<br />

Prgrm Level (Program Level)<br />

This simple but very important parameter controls how loud your<br />

program is. When set to zero, the program is silent, whereas a<br />

setting of 100% will play it full-blast. If you hear your sound<br />

clipping, this is a good parameter to reach for. You can also use<br />

this parameter to equalize the loudness of the various programs<br />

you create, so they all sound about the same level as you flip<br />

through them, regardless of their individual oscillator, filter, and<br />

mixer settings.<br />

FX Mix (Effects Mix)<br />

Sets the wet/dry mix for the effects-processed audio, from 0 to<br />

100%.<br />

FX Balance (Effects Balance)<br />

Sets the balance between the Micon’s two effects modules and<br />

determines how much of each is heard.<br />
