• Harmonics knob and field: Sets the ratio betwe<strong>en</strong> the effect and original signals,<br />

expressed as a perc<strong>en</strong>tage. If the Input button is turned off, this parameter has no<br />

effect.<br />

Note: In most cases, higher Frequ<strong>en</strong>cy and Harmonics values are preferable, because<br />

human ears cannot easily distinguish betwe<strong>en</strong> the artificial and original high frequ<strong>en</strong>cies.<br />

• Color 1 and Color 2 buttons: Color 1 g<strong>en</strong>erates a less d<strong>en</strong>se harmonic distortion spectrum.<br />

Color 2 g<strong>en</strong>erates a more int<strong>en</strong>se harmonic distortion. Color 2 also introduces more<br />

(unwanted) intermodulation distortions.<br />

SubBass<br />

The SubBass plug-in g<strong>en</strong>erates frequ<strong>en</strong>cies below those of the original signal, resulting<br />

in artificial bass cont<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

The simplest use for the SubBass is as an octave divider, similar to octaver effect pedals<br />

for electric bass guitars. Whereas such pedals can only process a monophonic input sound<br />

source of clearly defined pitch, SubBass can be used with complex summed signals as<br />

well.<br />

SubBass creates two bass signals, derived from two separate portions of the incoming<br />

signal. These are defined with the High and Low parameters.<br />

Warning: Using SubBass can produce extremely loud output signals. Choose moderate<br />

monitoring levels, and only use loudspeakers that are actually capable of reproducing<br />

the very low frequ<strong>en</strong>cies produced. Never try to force a loudspeaker to output these<br />

frequ<strong>en</strong>cy bands with an EQ.<br />
