Tube Saturation/Bypass

The amount of tube saturation effect applied to your audio is

controlled by the Tube Saturation Drive control in combination with

the Input Level control. Turning the Drive knob will temporarily

display the Drive Level value on the LCD:

Drive gain (dB)

+8.5

The Drive control determines the amplification factor of the mod-

eled tube pre-amp with the numeric display indicating the amplifi-

cation in dB. At 0 dB , no distortion occurs, even for full amplitude

(+1 or -1) signal levels. These levels represent the “rails” of the

amplifier. As the Drive is increased, the amplification is increased.

Any regions of the signal that increases beyond the rails generate

distortion. (But instead of the usual ugly digital clipping, they are

distorted the same way the tube pre-amp would distort the sound.)

Because the maximum drive is limited to +10 dB, using the Tube

Saturation model requires the original signal to be at a level greater

than -10 dB. If this is not the case, you should adjust the Input Level

control to increase the level of the sound. (Be certain that Input

Level is not increased so much as to cause digital distortion.) It may

be necessary to to go back and forth between Drive and Input Level

a few times to get exactly the effect you want.

Note: If your audio was recorded at an exceptionally low level, it

may be that even maximum Input Level and maximum Drive will

still not result in a level high enough to generate distortion. In

that case, either re-record your audio at a higher level (if pos-

sible) or use an available digital waveform editor to digitally

increase the level (keeping in mind that this may negatively

affect the signal quality).

If you want to add tube saturation distortion without otherwise

affecting your sound, set both the Source Mic and Modeled Mic to

Bypass.

Bypass

Pressing the Bypass button passes audio through the AMM-1 with-

out any processing. The AMM-1 can also be placed into Bypass Mode

via the Bypass Footswitch or by MIDI.

The MIDI SysEx message to engage Bypass is:

F0 00 01 26 11 02 F7

1 2 ... 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 ... 49 50
