The Distortion Box is a module with 3 different distortion types: Clip, Overdrive, and Crunch. These introduce different types of harmonic distortion and frequencies for mild or extreme effects.
Distortion Box Controls:
Clip: Controls the amount of gain applied to the signal. You can choose from Soft, Hard, and Fold.
Soft: Clipping in which the signal is reduced once it hits a threshold (similar to a Limiter).
Hard: Clipping in which a signal is cut off once it hits a threshold. This creates distortion with pronounced higher frequencies.
Fold: Foldback distortion, in which a signal is folded back onto itself once it hits a certain threshold.
Overdrive: Controls the amount of gain applied to the signal.
Crunch: Applies distortion with more emphasis on the high frequencies.
HP/LP: High Pass/Low Pass filter allows you to shape the tone of the distortion.
FL Studio users: If unwanted Clip distortion occurs at 0% wetness, we recommend the following:
