gain is compensated for at the output so you can adjust the
desired drive level without changing the perceived loudness
too much. The preamp emulation is calibrated so that the de-
fault drive setting of 28 dB yields approximately 0 dB gain.

High Pass
Use the high pass switch to select the high pass cut-off point
or to bypass the high pass stage altogether (Off). The high
pass has a 12 dB/Oct minimum phase response and the dialed
in cut-off frequency corresponds to the filter's -3 dB point. The
high pass stage is located between the preamp and the output
driver stage.

Trim
The trim screw offers a linear output level control in the range
of -18 thru +18 dB. Use it to apply manual loudness matching
in cases where the built in gain compensation doesn't work
well.

VU Meter
The VU meter monitors the signal's VU level in dB. The 0 dB
point corresponds to +4 dBu in the analog domain. Click on
the VU meter to bring up a drop down menu where you can
select between input, post drive or output level metering.
Please note that the drive metering mode doesn't account for
the gain compensation that takes place at the output. This
mode should give you a good indication of how much you are
actually driving the emulation into distortion.

GLOBALLY LINKED GROUPS

Group Icon (None/Group 1..16)


The Link button (located on the lower right of the user inter-
face) is used to assign the respective plugin instance to the se-
lected group. Once assigned, the plugin will synchronize its
settings with all other instances that are assigned to the same
group. Selecting None allows the plugin instance to be con-
trolled individually again. The plugin will restore its previous
settings once it is unlinked again. You may hold down the
modifier key, i.e. Alt (AU/AAX) or CMD/Ctrl (VST2/VST3) in order
to retain the current settings from the link group.

All currently loaded plugin instances can be set to the same


group or unassigned by using Shift+Click.

Hold down the 'x' key while editing a parameter in order to


keep it from synchronizing with its current link group. This way
individual parameters can be edited freely even when a group
is assigned.

NOTE: In some hosts the Global Link feature may be unavailable


because plug-ins are hosted in a “sandbox” so the instances can't
see each other. Also, grouping is only possible between instances
of the same plug-in format, e.g. VST and VST but not VST and AU.
