TS-12 Musician’s Manual Section 7 — Effect Parameters
39
The EFFECT MIX FX-1 and FX-2 parameters can be routed into the algorithm with different
Dry/Wet mixes.
DIST LEVEL - IN Range: 00 to 99
Controls the gain going into the distortion effect. DIST LEVEL - IN will boost the signal level up
to 48 dB. For more distortion, use a high input level gain and turn the OUT down to keep the
volume under control. For less distortion, use a low gain input level and a higher output volume.
OUT Range: 00 to 99
Controls the gain coming out of the distortion effect. Generally, if the DIST LEVEL - IN is set
high, set this parameter lower to control the volume.
BYPASS Range: OFF or ON
Allows you to bypass the distortion (as shown on the signal routing diagram).
PRE-EQ HIGH FC Range: 0000 to 1000 Hz
Filters out the low frequencies before the EQ. The higher the value, the less low frequencies will
pass through.
PRE-DIST VCF FC Range: 01 to 99
Determines the filter cut off-frequency before the distortion. Higher values have a brighter
sound. This parameter can be modulated, using a CV Pedal for a wah-wah pedal effect. To
disable the distortion filter, set this parameter to 99. To use as an EQ, set the desired value and
make sure ENV AMT is +00. To use as the auto-wah, set this parameter close to 01 (lower values)
and turn on ENV AMT.
Q Range: 01 to 25
Determines the level and width of the resonant peak at the filter cutoff point. While the PRE-
DIST VCF FC parameter determines where (at what-frequency) this peak will occur, the Q setting
controls the presence of the peak. This setting is important for the auto-wah effect.
ENV AMT Range: -99 to +99
Determines how much the amplitude of the incoming signal will modify the distortion filter
cutoff-frequency. When set to +00, no modification will occur. When set to mid positive values,
the PRE-DIST VCF FC will go high, but then come down to its nominal setting. When set to
negative mid values, the PRE-DIST VCF FC will go low, and then go back up to its nominal
setting How quickly it does so is determined by the ATTACK and RELEASE parameters. This
sound is the auto-wah; positive values will boost the high frequencies, offering an “oww-oww”
sound, and negative values will cut the high frequencies, producing a “dweep-dweep” sound.
POST-DIST VCF FC Range: 01 to 99
Determines the filter cut off-frequency after the distortion. Higher values have a brighter sound.
This parameter can also be modulated, using a CV Pedal for a wah-wah pedal effect. To disable
the post-distortion filter, set this parameter to 99.
Q Range: 01 to 25
Determines the level and width of the resonant peak at the filter cutoff point. While the POST-
DIST VCF FC (filter cutoff) parameter determines where (at what-frequency) this peak will occur,
the Q setting controls the presence of the peak. This setting is important for the auto-wah effect.
ENV AMT Range: -99 to +99
Determines how much the amplitude of the incoming signal will modify the distortion filter
cutoff-frequency. When set to +00, no modification will occur. When set to mid positive values,
FC will go high, but then come down to its nominal setting. When set to negative mid values, FC
