UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 233 - Chapter 18: Empirical Labs EL7 FATSO
Tranny Level This control determines the amount of Tranny process-
ing (see “The Tranny Processor” on page 223 for a de-
tailed description). Higher values make the Tranny ef-
fect more prominent. Increasing the Tranny level also
increases the signal THD (see “THD Indicators” on
page 226), and the sensitivity of the Warmth proces-
sor (page 227). A value of 5 is the unity setting.
Note: This control has no effect when the Tranny processor is inactive (see
“Bypass/T
ranny” on page 228).
LF Sat LED The LF Sat (Low Frequency Saturation) LED indicates the amount of LF satura-
tion in the Tranny processor. Higher Tranny Level values increase the LF satu-
ration.
FATSO Jr.
Presets
When loading presets created on the FATSO Jr. into the FATSO Sr., the pa-
rameters that are unique to FATSO Sr. are set to their default control values.
The default values of the unique FATSO Sr. parameters are: Thresh-
old/Tranny knobs at 5, and Filter/Attack/Release buttons off.
