Why use it

What it doesOdd and even harmonics on separate knobs, with three voicings and a wet/dry mix.

Reach for it whenBass that needs to cut on small speakers. Vocals that need grit. Drums that need edge.

What makes it differentEven thickens, odd hardens - you dial the ratio rather than picking a flavour. Mix lets you push hard and keep the source.

Odd and even harmonics on separate knobs, three voicings, and a wet/dry mix

so you can push it hard without losing the source.

CONTROLS

· DRIVE how hard you push the circuit

· ODD odd harmonics — edgy, aggressive

· EVEN even harmonics — warm, tube-like

· MIX blend the distorted signal against the dry

· OUTPUT final level

· MODE FUZZ / SATURATE / DISTORT

· ANALOG analog character section with TONE

· 4x oversampling

· Input and output VU metering

The bypass A/B in the demo video is level-matched — no volume trick.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6
