Recently i've been affected by a sort of pedal mania. It has geven its fruits but i still play with my amp too and apply my findings to the inner soul of our beloved stang.
So i made some easy test to answer to 2 basic question: how do this pedal color the guitar signal? How can i set it to use like a transparent boost?
So, here we can see how to set the pedal to be totally transparent:
As you can see the level is set around 2 o'clock the get unity gain, the gain is obviosly set to 0, the low are set to noon so i will say that basses are near or less untouched by the pedal. We have to fully cut the mids so either the pedal is pushing the mids or the knoq is an active eq (in a real pedal would likely be the first but this is just a dsp algo so all is possibile). The High pot need to be set fully crnaked so we can guess it is a passive filter. My guess will be that all the knobs are passive filters and pedal is pushing a bit the basses and al lot the mids.
After you set the pedal this way you can boost by rising the level.
What if we want to to overdrive while keeping it neuter like the fomous Klon Centaur will do?
That's it:
As a general rule, while you rise the gain you always roll back the highs, so here it is.
If you push it further you need to push back a bit the basses and free some of the mids.
Hope this will be of inspiration for some experiment.
