Vocal Distortion

• Range: 0 – 100%
• Function: amount of distortion (gain)

Behavior:

• 0–20% → light saturation (warm)
• 30–60% → vocal crunch/grit
• 70–100% → heavy distortion / fuzz

Technically:

increases harmonic clipping

more drive = more compression + harmonics

• Range: 0 – 100%
• Function: blend between clean and distorted signal
• 0%: dry only
• 50%: parallel distortion
• 100%: full wet

essential for maintaining vocal intelligibility

• Typical range: ~−12 → +12 dB
• Function: output gain of the block

It is used for:

• compensate for increased volume due to distortion
• balance in the chain

• Typical range: ~20 – 1000 Hz
• Cuts low frequencies before drive

Effect:

• louder → less “mud”, cleaner distortion
• bass → fuller/dirtier sound

essential to avoid confusing distortion (HPF removes unnecessary bass) (Develop Device)

• Typical range: ~1kHz – 20kHz

Cuts high frequencies before drive

Effect:

• lower → dark/vintage distortion
• high → more presence and aggressiveness

Filter slope type

• 6 dB: soft (natural)
• 12 dB: medium
• 24 dB: aggressive / surgical

more dB = sharper cut

Removes bass generated by distortion.

Useful for:

• clean the mix
• avoid live rumble

Cuts harsh high frequencies

Effect:

• 6–10 kHz → warmer sound
• 12 kHz → more brilliance

Fundamental to avoid:

• harshness
• digital “fizz”.

• same logic as the Pre Type
• controls how drastic the final filter is
